green tea - erutufon|nofuture

**bitconductor** · 15th July 2003

this is amazing i can't believe i never tried it before just recently. it almost feels psychoactive like a smart drug

invisibleplanet · 15th July 2003

i agree
it's the next best drink i've found to Maté, and has been helping greatly with my horrendous addiction to quality fresh coffee

jukka · 15th July 2003

green icetea with grapefruit is great !
one of da best summer drinks

FiST · 15th July 2003

i have managed to cut back to one cup of coffee a day, now i just need to stop smoking the fags and i might live to see 30

**bitconductor** · 15th July 2003

jukka that is inspirational like a lightening bolt. i'm brewing some of that up and putting it in the fridge tonight.
ip i am going to hunt down mate. still can't do the acute accent.

but this green tea is like elixir. the more i drink the clearer everything becomes. three is caffeine in it i know but not as much as proper normal tea. i want to get one of those real lil teapots and some of the fresh 1st harvest leaves.

**bitconductor** · 15th July 2003

fist get on the green stuff. it seems poncey to start with but after a while it's like you're a guru or something

*Lady E* · 15th July 2003

ive been drinking it for years. i dont do black tea now apart from the occasional lapsang souchong. i also drink peppermint and camomile in the evenings...green tea does still contain some caffeine

but yes its incredibly good for you. full of anti-oxidants. i love it...i drink one with jasmine.

**bitconductor** · 15th July 2003

yes. the one with jasmine got me into the whole realm of green tea. even peppermint tea tastes heavy to me now. but i should maybe try some of that camomile. they give it to alcoholic parrots in recovery. true.

actionjetzon · 15th July 2003

i have stopped drinking coffee half year ago. now i do mostly black tea with vanilla or green tea with plum and ginseng

tea is great

what is Maté and how does green tea help to do it?

i like the green tea sorbet you can get in Japan. yum.

**bitconductor** · 15th July 2003

Yerba Maté - Green leaves, one makes into a drink - more caffeine than coffee, has several amino acids INCL. Tryptophan among others. Check out the list....

the link is a bit shakey but gets you close

animal night train · 15th July 2003

more caffeinne than coffee? hmmm, that's too much already!

**bitconductor** · 15th July 2003

you're flippin right. but think of the aminos eg that tryptophan - SERIOUS

FiST · 15th July 2003

gonna get on the green tea guru buzz asap, does anyone have any suggestions as to which 'brands' are good?
or where i should get it from?

cheers.

**bitconductor** · 15th July 2003

YES!

good move fist. remember, the first cew cups taste a bit bitter. by about the 4th or 5th it's better than water or lager.

i want to know about brewing it from leaves in a t-pot as well. all i can do is recommend the teabags from good ol twinings (they do a version with jasmine too) or jackson's of piccadilly - posh ones. tastes so good, sorts you right out. remember - no milk

FiST · 15th July 2003

kewl cheers bitconductor, will pick some up after werk is finished. when you say 4th or 5th cup, how much of the stuff are you necking in a day?

will start on twinnings before moving to the advanced level of g_tea.

**bitconductor** · 15th July 2003

well i reckon i have between 6 and 7 cups a day (is this normal?). that includes first thing in the morning and in the evening too but basically it's the same amount as i used to drink in normal tea. beginners might want to ease themselves in a bit i suppose. but i tell you normal tea just seems rubbish now - heavy and greasy.
i hope you like it. give us the update.

FiST · 15th July 2003

yeah will give ya the updates: but if go mental cos of it will come down and make you drink 500 cups of nescafe with no milk or sugar.

**bitconductor** · 15th July 2003

hold it down. green tea will work for you. jedi wisdom and all that will then follow. there will be no need for forcefeeding of nescafe down here. but you do go mental remember it's a break through not a breakdown. and anyway it wasn't my fault it was because you were addicted to nescafe, and probably had a history of mentalism.

bob · 15th July 2003

FiST head down to the tea houses in otago lane and you can buy all kinds, just tell them how much you want and they weigh it out

yah, prophecy of dooooom.

**bitconductor** · 15th July 2003

a breakthrough might take you from doom to paradise on earth. plus i'm joking and paraphrasing david icke cos i know green tea will do nothing but good things for fisty.

hey man i don't touch the nescafe, only decent/decadent real coffee.
i am of course joking aboot forced intake of nescafe, unless yer a big hippy who listens to fleetwood mac all day, then we might have probs

cheers bob, will check it out, but for during the day at werk i will stick to bags of green to save the fucking about.

**bitconductor** · 15th July 2003

fist i hope you love it. failing that i hope your girl loves it. if not post it down to me and i'll have it.
nescafe is a weird thing. as is fleetwood mac (the later period - early stuff is phenomenal. when they combine that late 60s vibe (my favourite) with the MOR guitar soft rock thing - phewee now we are talking about PROPER SHIT).

FiST · 15th July 2003

i am seriously goonae give it a good go, lord knows i need to get healthy, and hopefully this will be a step towards that.
why do you think nescafe is weird? it is only substandard instant coffee nothing to worry about really.

**grobelaar** · 15th July 2003

Hmmm, interesting never really drank any green tea, didn't think it was that radically different... funny innit, we're all junkies either way you look at it... better to shop at nature phamacy though, I reckon...

**bitconductor** · 16th July 2003

it's weird because of the consistency, taste, and smell, none of which is close to that of actual coffee. not as weird as fish, i grant you, but weird anyway.

Marolo · 16th July 2003

I've just discovered Chai tea, yum yum

dirtyho · 16th July 2003

I drink much more chinese tea than english tea at home. It doesn't bloat you as much and tastes nicer.
