    Hot or Cold? Cold

    Which brand do you recommend? Oi Ocha...it's bottled. Bought it a Costco

    Decaf or regular? Regular

    Do you have a way to give green tea a twist? Add stevia or splenda

    I like hot green tea, specifically the Yogi Green Tea with Super Antioxidants!

    I had been drinking Fresh and Easy brand(its a store that came from Europe I believe) with passion fruit and jasmine another stuff. Just got Yogi brand for first time its pretty good too. I have the Kombucha and another. One is decaf but has 5 mg still and the other has more. I'm a bit afraid to try that one as I'm super sensitive to caffeine lately and it has 25 mg hopefully it won't be too bad. It took some getting used to. My grandma had started drinking green tea on advice from her heart specialist but got the Lipton cold. It was disgusting when I first tired it. I don't like the Lipton regular tea either ICK.

    I slowly worked over by drinking it hot with honey now I drink it iced since I'm used to the flavor but it did seem to be easier to get down hot at first. I started using local honey to see if the supposed allergy benefit would kick in.

    Lipton or twinings, green tea with mint. Piping hot, usually with one or two sweeteners (if 2, then one stevia, one other) or occasionally honey.

    I usually get the Twinings green tea selection. It has green tea with cranberry, with citrus, with apple and pear, with pineapple and grapefruit, and with orange and lotus flower. Yummy! I used to drink green tea with jasmine but I prefer the fruit flavours.

    I LOVE tea! Black, oolong, green, yellow, white, pu-erh, you name it! I get them all loose leaf...one caveat for green teas though...water that is too hot or if you steep too long will make it BITTER....best to keep the temp under 170 F and time to 3 minutes. Although quality loose leaf teas may cost more...you can get more bang for your buck by reinfusing...up to 4 or sometimes 5 times....just add about 30 sec to each additional infusion. Oolongs and scented greens, for instance, I find better with the 2nd or 3rd infusion.

    My favorite greens are:

    Jasmine Bi Lo Chun (green tea leaves with jasmine blossoms)

    Jasmine Pearls (green tea leaves rolled with jasmine blossoms into "pearls")

    Osmanthus Dragonwell (osmanthus is Chinese orange blossom, dragonwell is the type of green tea, straight, not curly leaves)

    I buy all my tea online from www.imperialtea.com

    You can also learn a lot about teas and the different processing techniques for each at the above website.

    My fav black is mango black...DELISH!

    I drink green tea every day, hot mostly.
    Salada 100% naturally decaffeinated green tea and Korean green tea from korean farms I get it from the korean market. Tastes good.

    I currently have a Japanese green tea that I only found online so far.
    Just throw a bag into a jug of water, leave for a few hours, drink directly from the fridge. It's the most refreshing thing. No sugar needed if it's really cold.
