Mmm, bought some lovely Liptons mint ones this week, perfect for after lunch. Im getting my 3-a-day, but I'm not convinced its doing anything for my weight though!

I have a new favourite tea - Suki Tea · Suki Tea - Japanese Cherry Sencha Green Tea · Tea as it should be...

Green tea with huge chunks of proper sour cherries in, smells like bakewell tarts and tastes wonderful.

It is on the expensive side, but you get what you pay for

Wooooah now that sounds lovely !!!

I bought some green tea with fruit today... there are a few flavours in the pack... pear and apple, cranberry, lotis flower and mango and pineapple (i think). Will have my first cup later and get this challenge started

I had one of the apple and pear ones today...my first experience of green tea. It was very nice! I like my tea sweet though (always have sweetener, even in fruit tea ) xx

I've really slacked today ( still have time to make up tho I guess. I've been cleaning kitchen all day aswell so can't even say I've not been near a kettle. Found a forgotten £10 note in my now forbidden baking cupboard, it was hidden behind the chocolate sprinkled. Think I might treat myself to some cherry sencha tea! )

Me 2! Lol Wen some1 said the fruit flavours were sweet I had a chuckle as I stick 2 sweetners in mine! Prob why it tastes like warm pop!

Had 3 cups today so far. I got some strawberry and also some peach and cherry blossom flavours yesterday. I've yet to make my mind up on them yet. Currently drinking an options hot choc tho at mo whilst my ps3 game installs lol

Ooh, this thread's just made me rush out and buy some green tea, got the normal one and with lemon so will see how I get on with those. Thought I might be out of luck at this time on a Sunday night but the co-op had some Am just waiting for my kettle to cool.

Edit: Ok, so I've had 3 cups of "normal" green tea in two hours and now have raging heartburn. Is that normal or something that anyone else has experienced? I used to suffer with it all the time but has been way better since I changed my diet. Maybe I've had too much in too short a space of time? Or it could be the alcohol I had yesterday catching up with me... here's hoping

I am definalty going to start this tommorow, I bought lemon tea the twinnings one thinking thats the one i needed to be drinking but i realised that it was the wrong one and should of been the green tea. I will keep the lemon though for when we are hit with flu and colds etc. Off to the shop tommorow for my green tea. Will report back. Am i right in thinking that you should drink one cup before each meal etc or just ask and when you want? Plus which do you recommend the green tea twinnings or decaf green tea by tetleys x

I just drink it whenever I fancy it and I prefer the twinnings flavour ones

Was annoyed with myself today, got into the office then realised I'd forgotten my tea - but then I rummaged through my bag and there were two green teabags in there that I'd forgotten about so I had one regular green tea, one with lemongrass and one with pomegranate when I got home. The pomegranate one is lovely.

I've had my three at last! I like the cherry blossom & peach I agree it is quite almondy

It does taste like bake well tarts. . I love the smell of it more. I don't add sweetner but I think it will help with any cake cravings

Do you get all of these interesting flavours from a big supermaraket or do you have to go to somewhere like Holland and Barratt?
