Try a Chinese food mart or a specialty chocolate shop.

i bought a box of "loose tea" thinking it would be the leaves, but it isnt leaves, it´s kind of like little flakes of tea, not quite a powder, but almost. anyway, i wanted green tea, hence the leaves, can i make green tea by just not adding milk?
but when i bought green tea bags, the drink was a different colour from this made with the "loose tea"

The color is different because it's not as strong. You can make green tea just using a tea bag, it's no difference but the strength and that the ground-up leaves don't get stuck in your teeth.

Organic. Any Asian brands that are afforable?

Alot depend on where you live and the Asian community in the area, if you live in a smaller lesser diverse town, try a health food store, if you are in a larger metropolitain area, the prime place would be a Japanese grocery, you may find some in other Asian store, it would be were they sell or stock the teas, it will be in a long bag, and say Sencha on the label.

When I was a chef and worked in Japan, I would buy one of the first crops of the year and paid big bucks for it, sencha is the primo tea, it is the top branches and no lower, in Japan it's a prized gift, it is best brewed and served in the first 3 minutes after the water hits the leaves, after that the tea gets a bit bitter, I can still remember it and wish I had a cup now.

I've heard that its really good for you but not really sure what it does for you. I used to drink Arizona Green Tea, but now I buy the tea bags of green tea and I drink one every morning.

Green tea is very good for you. It helps you boost your metabolism which well help with losing weight, and it helps prevent against cancer.

how to make/brew green tea?

05.December, 2008

i bought green tea from grocery store but the pack doesnt have any directions for making tea. Can anyone tell me how to make green tea?

*The indian way to make is …..Boil a cup of water and then add a teaspoon of the green tea leaves and let boil for just half a minute or so !!!!
Put off the flame and let it ''brew'' for 5 - 6 mins…….. then strain it in a cup and drink hot !!!!
U may drink it cold too …… but then strain it first before cooling …. o/wise it will become too bitter & strong !!!

I was reading the yahoo health article which spoke of the many benefits of green tea. But I also know there are a lot of scams going on about health foods.

Did it mention that you have to drink masses of the stuff to get the benefits? lol You would be better taking a capsule of green tea extract which can be bought in health shops.

I am comparing different online places- it doesn't seem to make much sense to buy from out west if I could get quality tea from the east coast. Or do you buy from China/Japan?

Where do you buy your organic loose tea?

My favorite online tea retailer is Adagio (primarily based in NJ), they aren't organic with the exception of their organic rooibos. But in terms of tea I don't find much difference between organic and non. I can't think of any other online places in that area that do specialize in organic

If you have a Trader Joe's in your area, that would be an excellent place to start. I'd swear I've seen some there before.

or go to the self cheack out counter and get them with out any trouble?
please and thankyou
which brand do you think works best
and wich can i buy if im under 18

Try purchasing them at any drug store, walmart, or target.
I have used Mega T - Green Tea Pills and I must say that I had mixed feelings about them.

Mega T was good for giving me energy and a small amount of weight loss but the negative side affects are that they make you feel horrible in the morning. I was very Groggy and moody everday when I would wake up, it would take me at least 2-3 hours to feel like myself.

I took it everyday, a few times a day for 3 months.

I did however hear really good things about Alli Orlistat Capsules. I am purchasing them on ebay for a good price.

If your worried about purchasing any diet pills at the store then try your luck online. If’s easier and much cheaper!
Hope this helps.
