Green Tea

If you drink it, what brand?
I was drinking Twinning but randomly bought some Double Dragoon tea from Holland and Barrett, not as good as the Twinnings. What is the best quality brand?

I drink it, but only in Asia in cafes etc. It's great when you've got a hangover.

Twinnings or Punjana. Drink green tea all the time now.

PG Green Tea here, tastes good to me with a spoonful of honey.....mmmmmmm yummy.

I usually have Twinning's stuff, drink a fair bit of it, much more so than regular tea really these days.

I like having any of their green range, flavoured ones too.

I've had clipper before and it is good, had some random brand and it was foul but not sure what the brand was.

I also do not remove the bag, gives it as full a flavour and strength as possible.

Hmm, might give this a try. Until two cups of strong tea i'm useless in the mornings.

Do remember drinking a few cups at uni with an asian student. Was up all night.

I tend to prefer Japanese cold green tea. In the UK I tend to get Sencha cold green tea tea-bags from Mount Fuji and tend to get through about 1ltr a day.

When in Japan I tend to drink Itoen bottled cold green tea, (usually at least a couple of bottles a day).

I do find it annoying that the bottled tea in the local oriental supermarkets always seems to be sweetened or have lemon added both of which I find disgusting ...

I prefer white or yellow tea myself

Those are like soft drinks! I love the lemon tea stuff.

Twinings for me.

Some guy has this at work all the time. I never usually have tea but I gave it a try. It wasn't too bad actually!

Dave · 13 Jun 2011 at 23:28

I've got some green tea that I bought back from China, my girlfriend's boss also gave me a box of green tea too. I've got Longjing and Sanxia tea, both very nice!

Jimbeam3678 · 13 Jun 2011 at 23:42

Taiwanese tea according to my wife is the best. Stupid prices for it up and above £1000 for a box of tea!

DezUk · 15 Jun 2011 at 22:16

The wife drinks this stuff religiously, never really tried it myself but having read its good for hangovers maybe i should

She necks the clipper brand for the record!.... with added lemon and the bag left in!

Crizzy · 15 Jun 2011 at 22:22

Yep I like a Twinnings green tea after a particularly long day or after a big meal

otherwise normal tea.

rypt · 16 Jun 2011 at 10:14

I only drink the real stuff, Takaokaya or if I can't get a hold of any Yamamotoyama
