    I drank green tea today but added a few teaspoons of sugar to improve the taste. Did I undo any potential health benefits I could gain from drinking green tea?

    There's a tea store up here in Canada called DAVIDsTEA, you should see if there's something similar near you, the amount of flavours they have in their tea is amazing, over 150 different flavours (Banana Cream Pie...yea!)
    You can also order online, which I do frequently as the drive for me is close to an hour.
    Also, I think most of the tea flavours are on MFP, so easy to log and at zero calories? Can't even try to complain.:D

    I just went to David's Tea website. The chocolate teas sound so good!! Great tip!

    Green tea is an essential way for me to get through the day without snacking too much. I used to require sugar but decided to cut that out; it took a couple of weeks but then it was no problem. Often people talk about green tea like it Coke (there is only one standard formula); in reality, like coffee, apples and lots of natural products there is tremendous variation. My favorite is actually an authentic Chinese green tea called Lungching (Dragonwell) Green Tea; I buy the FooJoy brand. This particular tea has a delicate flavor with a sweet finish so a cup of this even tastes like it has a bit of sugar in it. Most of the time I leave the tea bag in and it doesn't develop a bitterness. I buy it in an Oriental grocery store; it's pretty cheap about 5 bucks for 100 tea bags. FooJoy is a big tea brand but you're probably only going to find it at a specialty grocer or on the Internet...
