Re: tea
Mon, June 15, 2009 - 12:20 PMGP green has a very clean, very clear taste. . .if you steep it very long it is strong, but it just has a very pure taste, which is what i like. .

It's strong, fragrant and a bit more on the bitter side. Guess it has more caffeine than other kinds, hence the name. -

Re: tea
Tue, June 16, 2009 - 12:28 PMyeah, i guess it would depend on the person. everyone is different, absolutely.
hey, maybe someone could tell me the difference between different teas? Like caffeine content, which ones carry more antioxidants/ better for you and for what reasons. Stuff like that. That would be awesome because I am actually very curious. I love teas, but wish to be more informed about the LARGE variety out there:). Thanks. -

Re: tea
Tue, June 16, 2009 - 1:19 PMI think most of that kind of information could be found on any site of people selling teas. Bigelowtea.com or stashtea.com? Tazo has a website too.
Generally, black teas are fermented and are therefore more like "coffee" than other teas. Higher caffeine, generally. White teas have the lightest flavor, least bitterness. I've always heard that greens have the most antioxidants – but they're all over the map as far as bitterness and caffeine; they range from low to high on both scales.
What am I leaving out? -

Re: tea
Wed, June 17, 2009 - 8:55 AMOkay, I'm a total tea geek, so I had to chime in <g>. Green tea should NOT be bitter. Most of the time, it ends up that way because folks use boiling water to brew it (in my experience, anyhow). Only black teas should be brewed with boiling water. Imperial has some good tea basics on their site (and they a have marvelous teas):
www.imperialtea.com/Classroom.htm
Gunpowder tea called this because of the way the rolled tea leaves look. I find the flavor a bit grassy, but nice. Often, it tastes a bit more like an oolong that other greens. Depends on the purveyor, probably.

Wed, June 17, 2009 - 9:00 AMOh, hey, Holy Mountain has relative caffeine contents of their teas here:
www.holymtn.com/tea/teacaffeine.htm
I've always heard that it's not necessarily true that fermented (black) teas are more highly caffeinated...this seems to bear this out. I know that I've had a DEFINITE buzz from some white teas, even, but I'm pretty sensitive to caffeine. I tend to rinse most teas (steep for 30 seconds, then pour the water off and brew the actual pot of tea), which seems to help a lot. Not sure if you can do this with bagged tea, but most full-leaf teas will steep several times before the flavor is gone from the leaf : ).

Re: tea
Wed, June 17, 2009 - 9:14 AMGenmai Cha Green!!! All the way. If I'm looking to ditch the caffeine I just do the first steep run off then use the tea bag again and re steep. It gets rid of the vast majority of the caffeine. I love chocolate mate to! Guayaki makes a yummy, ethical, chocolate mate. One o these days I'll start brewing it myself with the bowl and all. -

Re: tea
Wed, June 17, 2009 - 4:36 PMI have been expirimenting with different kinds of teas lately. I did find one that cures a chocolate craving with ease.
The brand is Yogi and I'm really looking forward to trying their other stuff as well. They have teas and cereal:).
Their website is pretty cute, it lets you "discover your perfect tea". check it out
www.yogiproducts.com/product...ect-tea/
I am in love with the Mayan Cocoa Spice.
Also Celstials Tension Tamer Tea is pretty tastey as well and it is caffeine free:) -
