I definitely drink more tea than i do water. Not sure if this is a good thing however i find myself devouring tea both in the morning and at night. Green tea, strawberry and cream tea, peach tea, black tea....
I'm trying to drink more green tea and i feel it does help my metabolism a lot more.0 -
just a quick update: my cholesterol was 189, below 200 in the healthy range!!! woo hoo!!!!0

ginger peach black tea is my favorite and has a lot of caffeine in it... less than coffee but close-ish
I love this tea!! I drink the decaf version from Republic of Tea!!!!! Soo good!!0 -
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.0

I drink black tea all day long because I like it best. All teas have antioxidants and are good for you. Green tea, which is unfermented, is the most touted for health benefits.

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.0

I drink tea also (I never took a liking to coffee). I usually have a cup of plain ol' Lipton black tea in the morning, but I also love Teavana's mix of white ayurvedic chai & samurai chai mate. Teavana is expensive, so that's only an occasioanl treat! I also love peppermint tea or Moroccan mint tea when I'm sick.0

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.0

They actually come from the same plant, black tea is fermented while green tea is not. As I understand, this leaves some more of the phytochemicals/antioxidants which provide health benefits. Nonetheless, they are both great.0

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.0 -
My favorite is the antioxidant rich white tea with pomegranate from Trader Joe's. It is delicious, has it's own natural sweetness and tastes great hot or iced. I have one in the afternoon. It helps curb my appetite a little, makes me feel full, gets that little more water that I need every day and you get all of those antioxidants!0

I like green, black, and white teas. In order to not get bored of the same old tea I encourage you to experiment with different flavors (one I recently tired was a green tea with clementine) A nice rooibos tea with a small drop of honey& milk is dessert for me some nights. As other posters have said- mint tea is great for nausea/ stomach aches and chamomile is a good bedtime tea.0

I drink 2 cups of straight green tea every morning. I love it.0

Living in Japan, I drink a fair bit of green tea, although more iced barley tea in the summer.
Strangely, just last night I posted asking if tea (and coffee) could count as my fluid intake, and the overwhelming verdict was no, because of the caffeine!0
