Green Tea?

So the other day I was at CVS looking to see if they had the energy drink Piranha. They didn't. Anyhow while I was there they had a White Cranberry and Apple Green Tea from Arizona. I'm not a tea fan so I was leery but figured maybe with the cranberry and apple it would taste better.
IT WAS DELICOUS. And it was ZERO Carb. Which is even better for dieters.
So I decided to read up on Green Tea, I'm sure you've heard about it in the news, but I was amazed at what this could do, between helping you lose weight (at least 4 cups a day must be drank for this benefit), rich in antioxidents, lowers cholesterol, raises HDL cholesterol, and one of the big things I was impressed with is that it kills the bacteria that causes gum disease and also contains flouride which is great for teeth. So with all those great benefits I thought well I'll look when I go grocery shopping to see if they have a cranberry/apple brewing green tea. They didn't. But they did have some other flavors (blueberry, raspberry and mandarin orange) So I bought the orange and it's decaffinated I don't like to have much caffeine in my system, not too good for you.
I've drank 4 cups already today, of course I iced it, because I don't really like warm drinks. It was surprisingly very tasty.
I'm going to try and incorporate this everyday into my health regimine. Anyone else try this?

Too much Steffy!! I can only imagine what a Green Tequila would be like, ugh!! I actually don't mind the taste of tea-- with sweetness and milk ;-)
I'll try to remember to get some splenda later on, thanks Dee!

I love buying loose leaf green tea, and found that I liked the kind that had the little rice grains in it (I can't remember what it was called) BUT I also love the Lipton's Earl Grey Green Tea which is yummy.
I've read a ton of great reviews about the Earl Grey version. Believe it or not there is a Green Tea message board. LOL
