I used to be a regular drinker until I shuffled my kitchen around and didn't have my tea in sight, now we have moved house and I have the tea on display and I'm back drinking it regulary!
What brand/flavour of tea do you drink? What 'results' have you got from it, or what results do you hope for?
Personally I'm using my green tea with lemon to avoid the late night/before bed snack temptations!

Thats a good idea !! think I will have to try that one !!
I love green tea !! at the moment I have two different flavours on the go one is to help cleanse with spearmint, milk thistle and nettle and the other is to help with digestion with peppermint and fennel seeds, they are made by Twinings. I have always enjoyed all different types of green tea but I am drinking it more now that I am on my 2008 life shake up !! LOL
I love both green and red tea. I usually have a cup in the morning and one in the earning. I'm trying to drink more tea than coffee.
Right now my favorites is a green tea with hawthorn and vanilla and red tea with green mint and vanilla. We also have a great Christmas green tea in the house with apples, cinnamon, ginger and vanilla. One all time favorite is Chinese green jasmine tea.

I originally started drinking it to boost my immune system during the winter because I was constantly getting sick. I will drink it with a spoonful of honey to sooth a sore throat...better than any cough medicine I've taken!
I used to buy a green tea with ginger from a little cafe that was close to the office I used to work at. Since I changed jobs I haven't had it....I kinda miss it.
I love tea, and I drink green tea daily. I buy loose leaf organic Green Sencha Tea online from Mountain Rose Herbs. I also drink Matcha tea, which is a type of green tea that is made by grinding up the young tea leaves into a powder. It is said to be higher in antioxidants than regular green tea. I don't usually buy flavored green tea because I enjoy the flavor of just plain green tea. I don't know if I can entirely credit it to the tea, but I hardly ever get sick, even colds are rare for me to get.
I just checked my packet and I'm drinking Twinings Green Tea with Lemon, although once I've paid off my xmas debts and have a bit of extra cash i'm going to get Minty Green Gunpowder and Raspberry tea from Ahhhh Tea. I know spearmint tea is meant to help with those persistant and annoying coarse hairs on my chin but I'm not entirely sure how much I should be drinking if I want results!

Well, I started drinking green tea about 6 months ago when I decided to give up coffee, and now that I think about it, I haven't been sick with the typical "winter cold" since. I love the Zen tea from Tazo--its definitely my favorite. :-)
I'm fairly new to this site & pcos--can anyone fill me on on the benefits of drinking it in regards to pcos?
I love green tea with Jasmine . I usually buy loose green tea w/Jasmin flowers at Oriental store. Since I started to drink Green tea regularly I do not get sick (knock on wood )
I love green tea too. Chinese Jasmine green tea is my favourite too, but I have a big stash of all different flavours for some variety. The main reason I started drinking it was because it's supposed to be really good for weight loss. Well, I'm thin now, so maybe it worked?? Actually even though I wouldn't give my weight loss full credit to the green tea, I do think it made quite a bit of difference in the ease of losing the weight.
Sarah Louise - congratulations on your weight loss!

Thats what I like to hear! haha I'm convinced it will help me, simply because I drink it instead of snacking in the evenings, theres a few 100 calories less! haha

I gave up coffee a few weeks ago and switched over to tea - I've always been a big tea drinker though. I've been drinking Lipton's Cranberry Pomegranate Green Tea lately, it's cheap and good. I like fruity teas
I love green tea. Around six or seven years ago we had Japanese students staying with us and one of them gave me a tea set with a couple of canisters of green tea leaves. It was REALLY good. Come to think of it, I have no idea where that tea set is now. I have started to drink more green tea again lately after not drinking it for ages - no particular reason. I have always just had plain green tea, but at the moment I have some lemon and lime flavour bags and it is going down quite nicely, thank you very much. Must take some bags to work tomorrow to save me drinking coffee - and the milk and flavours that go with it!
Donna.

Ahh Donna you've just reminded me of the real reason I switched to green tea... lack of milk and sugar added to it. I always added milk to my coffee and sugar to my black tea, so I switched to green. Although if I have black tea now I have it with no milk or sugar too. For me green tea now has become a bit of a break. I get out my nice cup, I make sure I sit down and think about the good I'm doing to my body with all those antioxidants...

I started drinking Green Tea when we started TTC to increase EWCM. My favourite flavour is Mint. I usually buy Twinings.
I've never thought to use it as a weight loss tool - I might start that tonight!
