Green tea - how do you like it?

scherpha · February 2010

I know that many were thinking that this would be a question about how much and when. Sorry.

How do you take your green tea? Flavored? Sweetened? Latte? What is your fave brand? Talk to me!

My favorite is as a latte (especially from Starbucks). My I like my plain but sweetened green tea, just brewed!

I drink just plain old hot green tea!! It has always been a favorite of mine!

I actually don't like tea so I take a Green Tea pill. I started way before TTC it's supposed to help with weight issues which is why I started taking it but now it's an extra bonus for CM.

I drink 2-3 cups of Bigelow Green Tea with Pomegranate, I get it at Walgreens. I usually use a teaspoon of sugar.

I use the tea bags because mentally I just think it's better for me than a gallon of Turkey Hill Green Tea (no matter how much better the TH tea tastes). I don't have logical or medical reasoning for this, it's just how I feel.

I have definetly had success with the tea. My EWCM lasts for quite a few days.

Stack Chai Green Tea is great with sugar and creamer

I try to drink (2) cups of Green Tea until I O during the work day.

The one I have is just Lipton Green Tea with Honey. It's not bad.

I take mine straight up! I find it tastes best when brewed with loose tea leaves (Chinese gunpowder is a good one). I also use tea bags when I'm in more of a hurry. Sometimes I'll add lemon, as the vitamin C is supposed to increase the antioxidant absorption (and it tasted good too!).

I have a question: Does anyone know if White Tea has similar effects as green tea? It has even more antioxidants and seems to be the healthiest all around.

One of my favorite things to get at Starbucks is a Chai Tea Latte so I might like that!

Where do you find it...right in the regular grocery store? Stack is the brand?

Lipton Green Tea (tea bag form) plus one splenda, plus it is free in the office!

Just be prepared that it looks like slime. It is really green! Some locations have a mango syrup (which is best) but I like it to have a little classic syrup in it to sweeten it a little!

LOL Thanks for the heads up! If I had seen "slime" and wasn't expecting it...not sure if I would drink it. :-)

People are taken aback when I have it so just a warning!! Enjoy it though!!

Excellent question... ::waits for response::.

Celestial Seasonings makes a white/green tea blend. I have been drinking that this cycle and had some success...although I really only noticed a lot more creamy CM and not much more EWCM.

scherpha · February 2010

Maybe I will do white tea in the 2WW.

I was drinking green tea every morning, even before TTC, just because I love the flavor, but my sister freaked out on me when I was talking about it to her last weekend. Apparently there was some study that green tea inhibits the absorption of folic acid, so you're not supposed to drink it when you are TTC or pregnant. Anyone else heard of this? I'd love to start drinking green tea again, but that study's got me all worried.

You need to have 4 hours between drinking GT and folic acid/PNV. Otherwise it is okay!

Yay!! Really, that's it? Can you tell me where you got the info from so I can tell my sister next time she decides to lob studies at me?
