I mix green tea with other favor teas and a diet tea from southern China. All in one cup of tea.

Gave up coffee for Yerba Mate four years ago. I weigh less, have much more energy, less problems with seasonal allergies and enjoy the taste. Glad to learn that tea is such a good thing.

Awesome blog! I love to see all the health benefits laid out like that. I think pretty much the only arguable downside to tea is teeth stains! Not as bad as coffee though…. also i got this amazing restorative toothpaste from dentist.net (dr collins brand…) so its not a big problem for me, but i’d still like to learn more about how to prevent the stains !
