Babylon Posted 28 May 2009 Posted 28 May 2009 I'd heard this is supposed to be good for you, so I thought I'd give it a whirl today. I have discovered that it actually tastes like the bottom of an ashtray. Why can't things that are good for you taste like kebab and chips?
Edmund Posted 28 May 2009 Posted 28 May 2009 I hate those herbal teas. Yorkshire Tea ftw Or Whittards Of Chelsea if im feeling posh.
Sir Fynwy Posted 28 May 2009 Posted 28 May 2009 Green Tea is one of the rankest drinks available, one of the many reasons I don't want to go back to Japan.
Alexikokopops Posted 28 May 2009 Posted 28 May 2009 Green tea is gash. It's one of a long list of teas that make you look like a pretentious posh spaz just be drinking it. "Oh darling, could you pass the Echinachea and Carrot tea please?". GRRRR
Babylon Posted 28 May 2009 Author Posted 28 May 2009 "Oh darling, could you pass the TJ's kebab and chips tea" thank god there are only 20 bags in the box... I can get rid of that easily enough, by adding 55 sugars to it.
Monk Posted 28 May 2009 Posted 28 May 2009 Eh, I don't see it as a poncy drink; it's just a nice alternative to regular tea and coffee.
Babylon Posted 28 May 2009 Author Posted 28 May 2009 Eh, I don't see it as a poncy drink; it's just a nice alternative to regular tea and coffee. Nice? Nice?... it tastes like a cup of Jobbers sweat after an afternoon banging his drum!!!!
Guest Posted 28 May 2009 Posted 28 May 2009 I have some green tea with raspberry flavour. It smells divine. It tastes rank.
Alexikokopops Posted 28 May 2009 Posted 28 May 2009 Eh, I don't see it as a poncy drink; it's just a nice alternative to regular tea and coffee. All teas that aren't normal tea are poncy drinks
Guest Posted 28 May 2009 Posted 28 May 2009 Personally I've just become used to the taste of green tea, usually have it at work
Babylon Posted 28 May 2009 Author Posted 28 May 2009 I have some green tea with raspberry flavour. It smells divine. It tastes rank. Is that where it's weight loss properties come from... The fact you can only smell it and not drink it?
Flynny Posted 28 May 2009 Posted 28 May 2009 All teas that aren't normal tea are poncy drinks Also anything that isn't PG Tips or Tetley.
Alexikokopops Posted 28 May 2009 Posted 28 May 2009 Also anything that isn't PG Tips or Tetley. And Yorkshire Tea Yorkshire Tea is brilliant.
Guest Posted 28 May 2009 Posted 28 May 2009 Is that where it's weight loss properties come from... The fact you can only smell it and not drink it? I now believe this to be the case. To drink the stuff, you need to add so much sugar, it surely negates any of the so-called goodness.
Big Ol' Bob Posted 28 May 2009 Posted 28 May 2009 Right.... I read in the paper the other day that Green Tea can reduce the risk of cancer. But last month I read that drinking hot tea can actually give you cancer... The first and last time I tried green tea I thought I was really cool, put it to my mouth and realised it tasted like warm soapy tap water so just fooked it off.
Corky Posted 28 May 2009 Posted 28 May 2009 People should drink proper tea. None of this Herbal, Earl Grey, Green stuff comes anyway near the quality of a normal, regular cup of tea.
hesapeepingtom Posted 29 May 2009 Posted 29 May 2009 People should drink proper tea. None of this Herbal, Earl Grey, Green stuff comes anyway near the quality of a normal, regular cup of tea. try the green tea from hollands and barrets its nice needs a sugar in as per normal tea but eventually it will just taste like normal tea and you wont notice you are drinking green tea unless its 1st thing in the morning and it will make you sick as its quiet strong dont leave the tea bag in too long either! any more pg tips on making a cup of green tea brew drop me a line!
Raj Posted 29 May 2009 Posted 29 May 2009 Green Tea with a"hint of Lemon' is nice. Anyone who says it aint nice will have to deal with LD3.
Lillehamring Posted 29 May 2009 Posted 29 May 2009 Green tea is gash. It's one of a long list of teas that make you look like a pretentious posh spaz just be drinking it."Oh darling, could you pass the Echinachea and Carrot tea please?". GRRRR cheers mind you, i bet all youpeasants that only drink black tea, drink it with shed loads of milk and sugar there isn't much tea i won't drink.... twinings do an excellent green tea with jasmine which is heavenly... chamomile is lovely in the evening - as it has no cafeine (same with green tea) but there are times when you can't beat regular black tea, with just a splash of milk
Guest Posted 29 May 2009 Posted 29 May 2009 mind you, i bet all youpeasants that only drink black tea, drink it with shed loads of milk and sugar Surely that is the only way to drink it.
AoWW Posted 30 May 2009 Posted 30 May 2009 Green tea is just wrong. I genuinely think my own piss would taste better. 'Proper' tea should be drunk with at least an inch of milk in the cup, 2 spoonfuls of sugar and the teabag just dunked in and straight out again. Alternatively, drink something decent like coffee.
