I'm looking for the "healthiest" green tea. Any ideas?

Something 100% natural or organic and processed such that all of the good chemicals and ingredients can be ingested.

Thanks,

Floog

1. I really like Yogi's Green Tea Kombucha

It tastes really good, it's organic and it has kombucha added (immune system).

5. I get Republic of Tea

Green tea in unbleached tea bags.

Right now though, I have white tea with pineapple. Makes a great flavor. :9

10. I have a slew of various Republic of Tea Green Teas

I have the Apple Blossom, Kiwi Pear, Blueberry (it's the mankind tea and proceeds went to prostate cancer), Wild Berry and Ginger-Peach (not Green). I got my co-worker hooked on them and she has two other flavors I don't have

7. I think white tea us the supersonic green tea. But it is very rare and

expensive. May also be toxic.. used to fight tumours. It think it is more of a drug.

12. For high quality white tea, go to Ten Ren

Edited on Sat Apr-22-06 09:15 PM by Rabrrrrrr

It's a Taiwanese tea store, with stores around the world and also internet delivery.

White tea will run you about $60-90 a pound, depending on the quality you want.

9. First, don't buy any of that disgusting shit that comes in a tea bag.

Buy loose leaf only. And for the very best, buy only Japanese green tea; and truly, the more you spend, the better the quality.

For the very best in nutrient-filled green tea, go with macha - that's a powdered green tea that one whips into a froth with hot water, and then drinks, drinking down not just the water part, but also the tea leaves.

But for God's sake, stay away from the bagged shit. It's awful.

19. Strongly seconded - re the bags.

Black tea out of bags is bad enough - but green tea in those horrific little things stews in under 5 seconds :puke:

18. ATTENTION ALL YOGI TEA DRINKERS

Don't panic, because this was years ago. But, DDT was found in Yogi tea. Here is the article:
