Green Tea Helps You Drink to Healthy LivingFiled Under: Healthy choices

I want to do what is healthy, and I jumped quickly on the green tea bandwagon. There were so many stories telling the positive effects of the concoction, that I had to give it a try.

Being from the south, ice tea is a regular part of my day. I figured tea was tea and it wouldn’t be much hassle to replace the green tea bags with my regular ice tea bags. After it brewed, the sugar was added (ice tea has to be sweet in the south, it’s in the law books).

The first taste told me that tea was most definitely NOT tea. The whole gallon went swiftly down the drain.

My hopes of switching to green tea were not completely dashed by my iced tea fiasco. Other tea fans have assured me that different brands have a better taste. Some of those other brands will make there way into my shopping cart, as soon as I get the taste of my failure out of my mouth.

It’s probably best if I work my way up to the green tea. I’m starting with some apple and some orange spiced teas. Before long, I’ll be drinking the green tea like a pro and reaping all the benefits that come with it.
