I like Green tea as the healthiest beverages. It can calm my mind and removes stresses. As i drink tea my body feel cleanses and can urinate easily. Many says that is an anti-oxidant that toxic and other wastes from my body is eliminated. Many variety of teas are in the market today. Their is red tea, green tea, white tea, black tea and other herbal teas made from leaves and bark of trees. What do you think are the best teas comes from tree barks or from leaves?

I have no strong preference for tea. Personally, I drink green tea practically every night. This is a habit that has stretched years and I see no reason to change it. I drink it more for the supposed health quality than the taste. If you ask me whether I like it, I would tell you I don't hate it. It can be bitter sometimes (I still can't brew tea "correctly" whatever "correct" means) and anyway I drink without really bothering to taste the beverage. As for other teas you did not mention like floral teas, well I am not really partial to those.

Good for you! You're not choosy when it comes to choosing teas to brew or to drink. As long as you keep in your mind that they can prevent many diseases. Why, bother about the taste? Anyway, a few cup of teas in a day, are surely to boost one's immunity. Discarding the fact that some teas whom you are not familiar with taste and smell differently from the products you currently use. It still doesn't matter at all, as many believes it can makes your live life long. So, hurray! let's all enjoy drinking teas, be it in powdered, loose,cold, brew or in bottles and savor the many benefits of teas!

I have been drinking black tea every morning since I was about 12 years old. Though not the healthier tea, it isn't as bad as coffee. I like green tea but I am used to the black tea as a routine in the morning and like that taste. I will have green teas later in the day. I also like red African alot as well as white teas, but more for later on in the day and not all the time.

Yah, I taste almost all varieties of tea and in fact, your choice is the most widely known tea in the market. But, in other countries, their selection of teas is in accordance with what they ancestors belief as the one effective. And, it really put a strong influence in their matter of choices. Some company repetively proclaim the their tea products as the first choice among consumer mind. I heard many discussion ascertaining that green tea is better than black teas or white teas as better than green tea and vice versa. They may even label another tea with less anti-oxidants properties and tastes worst. But, in the end what matter most is what the customers choice and no one can influence their decisions.

Yeah, black tea taste the same with other tea just different in colors and me add a lemon or calamansi juice to gives another taste on it. Red tea is available commercialized and you could buy it in a shopping mall grocery section.

I like ginseng tea. I get mine from puritan.com. The ginseng boosts the immune system, gives energy and (for males)boosts the libido. The version from puritan.com is actually a mix with ginseng, licorice and some other herbs. I like the way it tastes, just plain. Ginseng too, is an anti-oxidant. Both the leaves and the root of the plant is used.

I think all teas are are good for our body. Be it an instant or loose tea, whatever types of preparation you choose to drink it as cold or hot tea. It's still effective as antioxidants. Lastly, the decision to select the only best teas found in the market lies only in our hands.Just enjoy, sip and taste teas in different flavors.
