You can get really mother fucking good tasting green tea, you just gotta know where to look. Mighty leaf makes a good 'green tea tropical' tea. I took a nutrition class that said actual tea leaf/buds have the antioxidants that is good for you, while other teas do not. Although they may have other benefits.

I don't believe the antioxidant activity of plants has much anything to do with their health benefits. Its nutritional marketing hype. In vivo evidence is largely lacking. Some antioxidants even behave as pro oxidants in vivo.

SWIM is fan of rooibos tea. Its got a nice taste and no caffeine.

Not so, where are you getting your information? The antioxidants in green tea has shown to be beneficial.

"Green tea contains polyphenolic antioxidants that have shown anticarcinogenic properties in animal and in vitro experimental studies." "Oxidative damage to DNA is associated with incread risk of cancer, and there is evidence that improved antioxidant status in vivo, achieved, e.g., by dietary supplementation, lowers oxidative damage to DNA and may help lower cancer risk."

From the article below.

Benzie, I., Szeto, Y., Strain, J., & Tomlinson, B. (1999). Consumption of Green Tea Causes Rapid Increase in Plasma Antioxidant Power in Humans. Nutrition & Cancer, 34(1), 83. Retrieved from Alt HealthWatch database.

Try the Green tea tropical, so so good.

That's prebagged tea.....anyone can go online and buy a bag of tea.....im talking about hand made with fresh ingredients(herbs/spices/etc.) nothing dried/premade
 
I really like experimenting with the herbs.
Here's one nice recipe:
(best to drink before bed time)
10 parts Turnera diffusa (aka Damiana)
3 parts Angelica Archangelica
3 parts Yellow Caapi leaves
4 parts Anise seeds (Pimpinella anisum)
+ some peppermint leaves (best fresh)
it's better to put honey than sugar, but don't forget that hot temp. (~80 Celsium) is bad for honey.
have a nice day! :d
 
SWIM's favourites for teas/infusions:

Mate
Chamomile
Sideritis syriaca
Lactuca virosa
Peppermint
damiana
spearmint
St.john's Wort
Ephedra sinica

Peppermint mixed with spearmint is good stuff. same goes for combining St.John's Wort with lactuca virosa.

My mistake. Orange peels work nice sometimes in tea.
 
Heres a good one..

dig up some danylion roots..take them home and chop them up into little pieces..and roast them..and then use them as a coffee substitue in a cofee maker..I did it once a while ago and it was good. digging up all those roots took some time though.

perhaps dandelion roots..?
 
Yerba mate! Plenty of caffeine, with trace amounts of Theobromine and Theophylline. The other xanthines are believed to be responsible for taking the edge off the caffeine.

I was a skeptic, but the stuff gives me loads of energy while not interrupting my sleep patterns or making me anxious or jittery.
 
This morning I mixed some white jasmine tea with goldenseal and echinichea (sp?) along with some local honey, limes, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.

Divine !
