    I can't stand green tea, it tastes like dishwater. Even if it did help weight loss which it doesn't, I'd pass. Coffee ftw, good old black coffee baby!

    Me neither! I've tried every flavour combination too, and i can't make myself like it blegh..

    I've chilled it and added it to regular iced tea and squeezed lemon.

    I've tried that too, plus mixed in some cranberry juice to mask the taste further. Green tea just has a funny/unpleasant taste to me. I have given up on it lol

    Green tea, white tea, black tea and oolong tea are all the same plant. Just processed and fermented differently. Has some benefits, but pulling the iron from your blood stream makes it not worth it to me or anyone struggling with anemia. My grandsons doctor forbid him having tea for that reason.

    I drink a lot of milky black tea everyday, this will have to do for my tea consumption :smiley:

    I think the trick with green tea is not to brew it too long. If I leave it for more than a minute or so, it gets that weird taste. As for weight loss - it's not going to hurt, but I don't believe it's going to suddenly make you thin overnight - nothing is going to do that!
