Green tea is a buzz word right now. The Liptons, Snapple etc..have little green tea in them. Some tea and some coloring with fructose and crap. I sun brew mine with pure water and 6 tea bags to a half gallon of water. 4 hours in the Texas sun and a few hours in the fridge. Throw it out if not used w/i 3 days. It gets stale.

Ok, fair enough. Im drinking this stuff. Am I in the minority or majority?

A bag and this in it is the real way to get all the good stuff. Chinese herb store.

If you're not "rolling" your own, you're in the minority

I prefer the jasmine dargon pearls from Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, don't know if they have grown past Cali. The "buds" unfurl in the water, pretty enjoyable to watch, and very pleasant taste.

green tea always have yellow or brown residue . you need to clean it good otherwise it will stained forever. lol

I've got a ridiculous amount of tea. All Chinese and Japanese stuff though. Green/Oolong/Black/white and a bunch of herbal flowers/tea to blend in to suit my mood.

Here's some stuff after it's been brewed.


Just do that to stuff the first time I get it to examine it. I spend way to much money on tea, but I love it.

Thats not true on both counts. If you have a proper cup you wont get any residue and it will be near impossible to stain. Coffee cup is not a proper cup though.
