Re: New to drinking tea...

I also did the Colonix cleanse maybe 1 year ago and still feel it's benefits - a great program.

Personally I drink tea instead of coffee. I prefer the taste and prefer the effect. It gives me as much energy, but I don't feel wired and don't have an energy crash like I do with coffee.

Probably my favorite coffee replacement is Yerba Mate. I like the earthy taste without needing to add Sugar or anything else. In addition to the superior energy it also has the side effects of hunger suppression and even more regular BM's. A great drink to wake up to and keep you going in the afternoons.

I also really like green tea, white tea and occasional Chai.

Now that I've become a big tea drinker, one thing is I can't stand tea bags anymore. I much prefer the fresher, stronger taste and more potent effects of loose leaf tea. It's also much more fun and just about as easy to prepare. Tweet
