Hello all,
I am new to tea (other than Lipton) and especially green tea.
My father (a diabetic) has recently discovered the benefits of green tea and has asked me to research it. I must admit I have found this quite daunting. I too am interested in green tea but where to start? I figured this would be the best place.
Though I have found several places that sell green tea I have found nothing about qulities and quantities. For instance:
- What about quality? Are the green teas in bags at the supermarket beneficial? If not, where to start with price in mind? I see many teas selling for $30 for a few grams. This seems impossible practically speaking for 2 people to maintain.
- Quantity? How many cups does an ounce of green tea powder or leaves make/ I am trying to see how inexpensively this can be done.
I am interested firstly in the health benefits and secondly in the taste/pleasure aspect.
Cheers.
