I quite like green tea but found it really bloated my stomach - a woman dowsed me for green tea and told me to stay away from it as it's not good for me.

However I'm really at a loss as what to drink - apart from tea, coffee and water I'm really bored with those and I quite like the herbal teas (sugar free ones) but if green tea isn't good for me - what's to say that all the other herbal teas will also not be good for me.

Any suggestions apart from trial and error to see how it goes with the different varieties.

green tea maniac

I've been drinking green jasmine tea since 1st of jan (yes! It was a new years resolution 😀 ) and I am absolutely loving it.

I drink about two huge mugs a day and it's been just over a month now and I am finding my skin is a lot better.

We have recently covered the topic. Here is what we found about the different types of tea and what they are good for 🙂

I would also like to add that it's even better if taken without milk and sugar (if you cannot without sugar, try with honey). 🙂

White tea is slightly fermented. It is on a scale of fermentation from green, through white, yellow, blue (oolong), to black. According to the Chinese, all tea has health benefits. On the other hand, a recent study suggested that you'd need at least 6 cups of strong green tea per day to feel any benefit at all.
I like white tea, particularly White Peony, but then,I'm quite catholic in my tea tastes. Green tea is best brewed in a glass, about 3g per serving, with just enough water (50 to 70 degrees C.) to serve however many are drinking it. Wait until the leaves have completely settled ("watching the dance of the tea leaves") then pour. So long as all the water is used - or poured away if you made too much - you can have a second and a third brewing. Left to stew the leaves go bitter.
(By the way, Reiki Pixie, none of my Chinese relatives throw the first brew away.)

May be different families/areas have different traditions. I can only go by my experience by my Chinese tutor how chucks the first brew away, and considers this a normal thing to do 🙂

Today, in market you will find wide range of remedy available that claims to be the best in treating the [url]morning sickness[/url]. Recently that I have used to eliminate this problem was Good morning Mama that I bought from the online store Momsupplements.

Decaf Green Tea

Yes, decaffeinated green tea does exist! Clipper makes it.

Also, if you want to go for any decaffeinated tea, go for the Clipper ones (no I'm not a rep ;)) because they don't use chemicals to get the caffeine out while other brands do!

You might be better with loose tea since teabags almost always have plastic in them.

In the bag. There was a Which/ Report a couple of years ago. (You need a subscription to get into the Which? website, but try Googling 'plastic in teabags'.)

Clipper, when asked about this, said that "it is not a priority". The only tea company that was prepared to say they only use paper bags was Jackson's - not always easy to get hold of.

I'm (slowly!) working towards using loose tea.

Thank you Crowan. Who'd have thought it?? I've always preferred the taste of loose tea 🙂

Me too. But, of course, food manufacturers spend a lot of money trying to convince us that "convenience" and "cheapness" are the most important things in life. They wouldn't do that if it didn't work at least part of the time.

Let's hear it for loose (organic, fairtrade) tea!:)

I love green tea. I have found that it makes me urinate a lot though.
