OK, tea is too bland for me too. Once you've had black coffee and learned to enjoy its complex flavor, it's hard to drink any kind of tea. However, I understand the huge health benefits of Green Tea and most of what I eat and drink is aimed directly at maintaining my health. I've developed a habit of checking the nutritional content of everything I eat, preferably before I eat it, and some food's nutritional content I even have memorized! It's amazing how profound an effect certain foods can have on your body. The healthier your body the better and more noticeable the effects of healthy foods are.
For example, I've been having digestion problems for the past 6 months. I read that ginger is excellent for helping digestion so I ordered some Ginger Honey Crystal tea from Prince of Peace. Empty a packet in a cup, add hot water, mix and drink! It tastes awesome (unless you hate ginger) and I couldn't believe how much it helped my digestion. I've made it a habit to drink a cup almost every day (in the afternoon, when my body seems to need the most help digesting).
A few days ago I was in Starbucks and I saw a new tea for sale. Tazo Green Ginger. I had to try it. It combines the digestion benefits of ginger and the antioxidant benefits of green tea. I was surprised it tasted as good as it did. The plain Tazo green tea wasn't that great, so I wasn't expecting much, but the ginger helps to dull the bitter taste of the green tea, and almost tastes sweet!
My second cup this morning,

Bac Hoang (wifey’s unc in Vietnam) made me tea with ginger in it. We have dried ginger chips in the house and also when I have a stomach ache, wifey makes me take a bite of a ginger root. I also prefer Ginger Altoids over the cinnamon ones.
Found 3 bags of tea when packing this weekend, 1 being the green tea I was suppose to send you instead of the other… 🙁 And wife made me tea this morning from it… 🙂 tis goot too.
Hey DJT! Send me some green tea! I’m a tea lover too! 🙂 I love to drink tea!! Try boiling the tea and have the tea leaves seeps, put it in the frig, and drink it cold! It’s delicious! I like drinking luke warm/cold tea. You can drink it faster! Just like water. 😛
Next time I hear that Unc mailing something, I’ll ask for Green Tea and send it that way.. 🙂
