If you still want to try green tea, along with the recommendation of shortening the brewing time, check to see what variety of green tea you ar drinking. "Green" only refers not only to the amount of aging the leaves have undergone, but also includes several different plant varieties. You may find some varieties affect you less than others, as well as who is packaging them.

I consume several quarts of tea daily, but depending on which it is, I have significantly different responses. Good quality jasmine tends to mellow me, while pouchong basically jasmine without the flowers) seems to energize me. Most of the time I drink genmai, but I have noticed significant differences between brands.


Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life.
