Tea drinkers?

Whatever you like. I drink 4 cups of tea a day, as recommended by the department of health. I mostly drink Ceylon with milk, as green tea gives me palpitations, but am a big fan of oolong and white tea as well. Dragon's whiskers is my favourite white tea. Of the oolongs I have tried, rose oolong is lovely. You just put 4 or 5 leaves in the bottom of the cup and keep adding water all day as you drink it.

It doesn't matter what type of tea you have (as long as it's real tea, not sweetened ice tea type thing), they all have health benefits.

I drink oolong. I like the taste better and it has some pretty neat benefits... It helps aid metabolism, weight loss, digestion, promotes healthy teeth, and its good for complexion. Green tea has a ton of antioxidants, boosts the immune system, and helps with blood sugar. I know yogi sells an oolong, but I use the fresh tea from teavana or any misc tea store I come across. I hope that helps!

I usually drink green tea. However when I have a stomach ache or pains I will have peppermint tea as that seems to soothe my stomach problems! But I've heard that green tea is great for your metabolism as well.

ginger peach black tea is my favorite and has a lot of caffeine in it... less than coffee but close-ish

I do drink green tea when I can. I used to drink it when I was younger and believe it helped my metabolism. I recently heard on the John Tesch radio show that if you drink a cup of green tea every day with a squirt of fresh lemon it will aid in keeping cholesterol low. I guess the lemon aids in opening up the antioxidents in the green tea. I do think green tea taste nasty but I have found Lipton has some flavored ones that aren't too bad such as the acai blueberry, jasmine and orange, cranberry pomegranate, black currant & vanilla at least they taste a little better.

I haven't drank it for a couple weeks I notice I've lost less weight but I'm not sure if that's the reason.

I had read about the benefits of green tea so yesterday bought a box of green tea w/pomegranate. I had two cups today to replace soda, and I liked it

I love tea black is my favorite but i haven't had any for about a week do to trying to maintain my water intake.

Love my green tea!

So weird that you brought that up, I've been craving white tea all day! Hahaha.

I love black tea, but I try to avoid it because of the amount of caffeine. Iced green tea (unsweetened, although it does take some getting used to, can be very refreshing) and iced white tea are my absolute favorites. There's a Celestial Seasonings tea called Imperial White Peach that is fantastic, and I HIGHLY recommend. :drinker:

I drink close to a gallon of cold green tea everyday. All I do is put three tea bags in a gallon container with water and let sit overnight in the fridge. I'm not sure how much I'm getting in the way of the good stuff, since it seems I'm dilutting it a lot. Hmmmm, makes me think maybe I should start adding a couple more bags to up my intake.

It's easy, cheap and so delicious!

In winter I drink it hot.

just a quick update: my cholesterol was 189, below 200 in the healthy range!!! woo hoo!!!!

Green and Black tea have anti-oxidant properties and are good for you. Just sweeten it with liquid stevia so you can have a zero calorie sweet tea.

I am pretty sure there isn't any real health benefit of green tea over black, it's just that most people add milk to black tea, which adds a few calories.

I brew tea everyday and keep it iced and unsweetened in the fridge. I like Celestial Seasonings True Blueberry tea and will usually throw in a green tea bag for good measure - some say there are benefits. I now add several slices of fresh ginger - heard somewhere it settles a tummy.

Any tea drinkers? I was told green tea was best, then someone recommended black tea. Has anyone had any diet benefits from drinking tea? Which kind do you recommend? Thanks.

Benefits compared to what?

Compared to water, who knows? Compared to Coke, or whiskey? Yeah definitely.
