    The loose leaf teas have a much better taste to them! I invested in a tea cup that comes with a basket so I can steep my own leaves. We have 2 tea shops near where I live - Argo Tea and Teavana. Both have a huge selection of loose leaf teas that are delicious! I usually take my with a 1/2 teaspoon of sugar or honey or agave nectar. If I'm feeling really crazy I'll use vanilla soy creamer to sweeten my tea and give it a creamier texture :happy:

    Try some adding some honey. I drink green tea daily, but I don't do the flavored kind I use the pure green tea. It does taste a little like hot hay water but the honey helps.

    OMG so true!!!! LOLOLOL!!!!

    I drink Bigelow Green Tea with Mint with a packet of Stevia in the Raw. Its refreshing in the afternoon especially when I hit 2-3 pm slump at work.

    I drink the Arbonne Herbal detox tea. It has a great taste that needs nothing added to it.

    I drink Green tea almost daily during winter. I add a splash of OJ to mine and it sweetens it and gives it some flavor. Love!

    I'm interested in the loose leaf... HOW DO YOU MAKE IT WITH LOOSE LEAF???

    I recently started drinking green tea too. I add Stevia in the raw to sweeten it without adding calories. But use it sparingly, one packet is enough for two cups of tea.

    I use Stevia in the raw (the big green bag of powder is about 7 dollars at wal mart but lasts for months if used just for coffee and tea)
    We have found we like to "mix" different teas when brewing with the green tea. Usually we will use 3 bags of green tea and maybe 1 bag of the sleepytime mint tea (delicious with about 1.5tsp of stevia) or mix 3 bags green tea with one bag black or orange pekoe tea, to kind of give it a better flavor. Of course I like the green tea alone, but the rest of the family doesn't!
