Why hello green tea. Why have you been hiding in my pantry for so long?

 I can't wait to get my lips around the earthy flavor 1st thing in the morning. It seems to clear my head and energize me for the day (that combined with a vitamin D pill lately). I am relitively new to the green tea fad, but I do have to say that I can't imagine a time where I will be without this stuff.
There are so many types of green tea. I tend to keep it simple with the store brand from the average grocery store or the Jasmine Green Tea from Trader Joes for my day to day consumption (both under 3 bucks a box). When it was really warm out (for like 2 weeks here in the Seattle area) I LOVED the iced green tea from Starbucks. I was told they use Tazo 'Zen.' Which is an amaing blend of  green tea leaves with lemongrass, spearmint and a hint of lemon essence. I forgot to ask for no sweatener one time. That was a mistake - I hate drinking my calories :( It tasted off anyway - with green tea I don't need to add sugar or stevia or splenda. (Now, coffee is another story!)
So, who should drink this stuff besides health nuts? EVERYONE! This stuff is awesome. Try it for a few days and I bet you will feel energized, focused and cleaner inside (just like the hoards of others who have jumped on the green tea bandwagon!)
