| Another Yogi tea fan here! I noticed that they started selling it at our local grocery store chain, in the natural foods aisle (one of the perks of living in California  ). I used to drink the sweet tea in college, I think they were called Hazelnut and Vanilla Creme. Now I drink the green tea with anti-oxidants and the stress relief kava kava tea.
I wish I could find a cool tea shop here in So Cal. I found a great one in Portland Oregon, it was fantastic! One place we do have is Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, which is great - but so expensive!!! They have amazing tea lattes. |

| I get soooo hungry after I drink green tea, does this happen to anyone else??? I eat my normal breakfast and have some green tea afterwards, and by 10:30 or 11 my stomach is GROWLING like crazy when I'm normally fine until 12:30.
I don't like it! |

| Claire - any tea without milk or sugar does that to me. I have to have at least a little of one or the other and preferrably both or else I get that starving feeling. It's ok if I 'm eating chinese food or sushi, though. I think the rice does something that helps. |

| Really? I've never had that happen! That is interesting! Actually a warm beverage makes me feel kinda full for a while. What are you eating for breakfast? I do get hungry around 10:30 or 11 anyway, if I've just had a granola bar and juice for breakfast.
Now that I think about it, a diet soda ALWAYS makes me hungry, though. I never noticed it until some teacher told me they put chemicals in soda to make you hungry so they can sell more chips. Now I don't know if it's because they really do it or because I think that they do - I'm highly suggestible that way. If I were one of Pavlov's dogs, that experiment would have been over in 5 minutes. 
Here's more evidence that I live in hillbillyland . . . when I read someone couldn't find a decent tea shop, I was like "There's such a thing as a TEA shop??" Around these parts we have hot water and mugs! Thank god for the internet, or I'd have my choice between Lipton hot or Lipton iced. |

| Jean - a teacher told me that about the diet sodas too! It's something I noticed before but never made the connection or thought of a conspiracy -but now I notice it all the time.....I don't think of myself as particularly suggestible, so maybe it is real.  |

| Interesting. . . soda doesn't make me feel NEARLY as hungry as green tea does, but I only drink diet. . . is it in diet too? Hmm, maybe I have to quit. I should anyway. I wonder if that's true! I wish someone had the real facts to back that up, anyone?
Coffee makes me STARVING like green tea does too, I wonder if it's the caffeine? I'm talking STARVING -- I get really shaky and my stomach growls and feels like it's digesting itself! And it doesn't on regular days. I usually eat rice krispies or cheerios with milk for breakfast and USUALLY I'm fine until lunch. And I do put milk and splenda in my tea.
. .. okay I admit it, I'm hooked on artificial sweeteners! I can't help it! I need to quit! |

Easternsun, I wish you could send us some tea too!!! I also think loose tea is so much better. One time I had some Japanese Tea in a restaurant...It was the color of a green leaf..almost neon green..it glowed. It was wierd and I didn't like it. It was in a really upscale nice Japanese restaurant too. I shrugged it off as just being a lower quality tea..
So, do they drink Jasmine tea in Japan??
japanese green tea should be light yellow to bright green - depending on the type.
some folks drink jasmine tea - it is my absolute fave and i keep a pitcher in the fridge all the time. tea is a big thing here. we have cold oolong for meals, cold jasmine and hot green for guests and of course - what me and my hubby call grandma tea - lipton tea bags with milk and sugar. he loves it!
you all have me convinced that i should try these yogi teas now - i will have to order online. i am just trying to decide on a flavour. |
