Guest guest Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 I use specialteas.com . I like Japanese Sencha (green), Chinese Gunpowder (green), and oolong. But they have a huge offering.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Hi Tea Drinkers: I realize that green tea is the conventional wisdom these days, but does anyone know of any *empirical* evidence that green tea is healthier than other types of tea? (that is, other types also made from camellia sinensis - forget the 'herbal teas') I drink all kinds of different types of tea. Some green, most not. Taste-wise I find Earl Grey and Lapsang Souching by far the most interesting. But quality varies and the best of them are quite expensive.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Hi folks: I drink most of my tea (all but the Lapsang Souchong) with LEMON, no sugar. I use loose tea (to avoid the bleached paper in tea bags) and put it in one of those little metal gizmos you can buy in kithen gadget stores, and steep it for five minutes. Then I remove the tea and add the lemon to the pot. What works best for me is to use three slices of lemon plus two tablespoons of lemon juice, so that I get some, but not too much, zest in the taste. That seems right for between two and three litres of tea, which is about what I drink most days. But it is not strong tea. fwiw.
