Black Tea

[MegaVovaN]

Hi all... green tea is always touted as healthy and essential.

Well I drink black tea often (at least 2 cups a day), is it at least a little healthy?

And no, I am not switching to green tea = can't stand it.

I'm sure it's high in antioxidants - it just may have lower amounts plus caffeine.

black tea is just green tea that has been fermented

I don't like green tea either, but white tea is pretty good. I drink about a gallon of black in two days.

Ah, cool then. Yesterday I did overly concentrated black tea and drank 3 cups of it... I think I got caffeine poisoning, cause room was spinning, I vomited... then I ate some oats with meat, went to sleep, and everything was fine after.

I tried cheap white tea and it tasted like paper

From what I remember of white tea, it's got a pretty weak flavor. So weak, that I barely remember what it tasted like.

It's quite weak. The best white teas are flavored, imo. I usually add some ginger root to the tea... adds a nice kick.

Pretty much all tea is badass though.
