I drink a lot more of it in the winter since it's so cold! One of my favorite smells is after I've started the coffee and bacon, then coming back in from letting the dog outside and having that aroma hit me! MMmmmmm...... I love green tea!

I did not notice one, but I was so determined to give up coffee. I keep a pot of water on the stove all the time. I don't keep the stove on all the time, but frequently throughout the day I get the tea kettle whistling, fix a cup of tea, cut the burner off and sip after the teabag has steeped for a while and after the tea has cooled. They say to let the teabag steep for at least three minutes. I know mine steeps longer than that. Lynn Sandra, I still love the smell of coffee and I drank it my entire adult life. :)

I've always been a coffee drinker, but even more so lately. I've nearly gotten into a dependency cycle with it that is interrupting sleep and making me feel...well...dependent :) I have tried green tea before without any luck, but must admit I had no idea what I was doing. How strong do you make it? I love strong coffee...and found the tea to taste so weak. But, of course, my mind wasn't set and it was just an experiment on my part, but I'm thinking about making a change to tea. I'm sure I would have to feel better....after I recover from a week long withdrawal headache, lol! Thanks for all the great info on green tea!

I really like it. Amber, I do not sweeten it. I'll admit it did take me about a week to adjust to the taste after being so used to sweetened coffee with cream, but now I prefer it. At least part of that preference is probably knowing how much better it is for me. Lynn Michele, green tea does have a lot of benefits. I really like it.

I have to account for that, I'm sure, when I look at the weight loss, but I think I have some of the "fat burning" going on as well since I'm drinking it throughout the day.

So I rarely have it (don't need the added fat to my diet). I love green tea, but I have to admit my favorite tea is hot tea with cream in it.
