dancer's post about crap tea reminded me. *grins*
I have lots of teas, since I am trying to drink more water type liquids, without drinking soda (Yeah I know the tea's mostly have caffeine, it's the sugar I'm trying to avoid) but I have one that I just didn't like.

It's a brand called "Yogi" and it's "Simply Green" I don't remember what I didn't like, but I didn't. Anyone want a whole bunch of teabags, let me know.

Ahhhhh - the beginning of getting rid of stuff. me likey.

They haven't called about my car. I'm beginning to think I'll NEVER get to work today! I might have to go tomorrow, and go to the Cape on Saturday. Suck. The Boss won't be happy.

Some teas are just an aquired taste that you never really aquire. As an amature self taugh herbalist I've come to appreciate certain teas for their bitter taste. Ro thinks I'm nuts. He's been subject to too many of my herbal cures, which ususally work, but often taste like burnt ass. Green tea, in my opinion is a matter of quality, and tempurature. It's got to be almost uncomfortable to drink temp wise. I'll try the Yogi if you really don't want it. Might I suggest Celestial Seasonings Red Zinger? Hybiscus, rose hips, lemon grass, and licorice root. It brews a bright red, and is faintly sweet, even without sugar or honey. Earl Grey is also a favorite of mine.

Eh.
I've tried that, it's OK.
I pretty much loathe anything with any kind of licorice flavor, unless it's buried.
I LOVE other greens, there's something about THIS one that makes me not happy. My favorite blend right now is a simple green and a brown rice Genmai-cha. I prefer something woodsy, and less flowery, although I go through phases. I'm also wondering if it's the Yogi teas and not necessarily just the green - I don't think I've ever tried a Yogi tea I've liked.

I have an earl grey green that's pretty yummy too. Also a Bigelow.
