Green tea is boring.

Boring

Boring

BORING!

It always tastes the same. It has virtually no flavor. What's the point?


Red tea has flavor. There are many flavors of "red tea," orange pekoe, black, oolong, etc., etc. You can add honey, lemon, milk, or make ice tea and add a sprig of mint.

What does Korea have against red tea?


And while I'm at it, your little coffee tubes aren't much better. They all taste the same. Every day, day after day, the same flavor of coffee.

Why?

Coffee tubes are boring.


There. I'm glad I finally got that off my chest.

Uh, there are lots of different kinds of green tea too.

There are lots of different flavors of green tea. You are the equivalent of someone who drinks Lipton Brisk Tea from tea bags and complains that red tea tastes like crap.

if your statement shows up on a k/cbc....it'll be grounds to have your visa denied

Yeah, green tea is pretty boring. And green tea ice cream and oatmeal are just disgusting. I'm more of a Dunkin Donuts coffee guy, myself.

What's that coffee place in Canada that all the Canadians go ape s#!t over? Roger Hodgekin's? Carl Hammond's? Tom Hortons? No, Tim Hortons! Yeah, that's it.

Your post is pretty colourful for someone who doesn't like green... tea.

I will take a dunkin coffee over everything in the country. Green tea is horribly overrated, and like another post said, all the other food items they flavor with it are horrible. Anyone tried a green-tea latte?

[Boodleheimer]

where can you find white tea?


edit: and i like Pu Er Cha (it's a variety of red/black) and Long Jing Cha (variety of green) isn't bad if it's on the weak side.

There are so many different types of green tea. I used to work in a tea shop in America and it sold something like 20 different kinds of green tea and 10 or so black/red teas. Most of the green teas were great but I did not like two or three of them.
I personally prefer Jasmine Dragon Pearl tea which is green or Matcha the powdered Japanese green tea. In the morning I drink Earl Grey or Lady Grey if I feel I need a boost of caffeine. I also drink Roobois but have to say that the greens are my favorite.

Gunpowder green tea is good. I prefer Japanese Sanka(Or Sancha or whatever) to a lot of green teas. Jasmine flavored Green Tea tastes like rabbit food(I ate rabbit food when I was little. I wanted to know how it tasted.) But what is with this brown-rice-tea. It doesn't get you going in the morning.

Green tea is amazing. one of the greatest thing in the galaxy. Such a more refined drink than coffee.

I am guessing you have never had good green tea prepared properly but only the crappy crappy stuff in the tea bags. Green tea is pretty average in Korea tho and way way too expensive for anything decent. Get stuff sent over from China.

Lipton tea is the work of the devil. I have to use two bags to make a decent cup of that horrible stuff. Get yourself some Yorkshire tea or Tetleys.

Both drinks are equally great.

Koreans drink too much coffee in my opinion way more that other east Asians.
