I love Green Tea. A couple of years back, I took my daughter to see her orthodontist. He, and most of his staff are Japanese. That particular day, I had a cold. My sinuses were clogged and my head hurt. The receptionist asked if I would like a cup of Green Tea. I had never had it before, so I told her I would like to try some. She brought out a cup and I just sat there for awhile inhaling the steam. After I drank it, I felt a little better. So, I have been hooked on Green Tea ever since. Since I quit drinking coffee awhile back, I've been looking for something to fill that niche. The people at the office told me to only buy the Green Teas from the local Japanese supermarkets that are located here and there. But, I have never been able to take the time to go visit them. So, Mike and I were at Sam's Club this past Sunday. We were walking up the "coffee" aisle, when I noticed a large box of Nestea Green Tea. I pick up the box and look at the ingredients: Green Tea, that's it, no preservatives, no additives. I figure, "Why not?" So, I bought a box. My new routine now, is to come home from work, take a shower and then relax in front of the computer while drinking a cup of tea. It's nice. And, the it tastes the same as the tea they served me over at the orthodontist's office.
