There are so many options! I love Green Tea, I drink 3+ cups a day =) I was wondering whether I should get tea bags that are packaged in a store, organic packaged, or go to the Pike Place Market(Seattle, WA) or any other market and just get the leaves whole. If whole leaves, do i get fresh or dried? is there even a choice in the matter?
I am currently getting the packaged stuff at safeway. Sometimes its organic. I get the brand Bigalow. Its okay, but i feel that trying whole leaves would make it stronger. Its just so…eh!
If you recommend packaged, what brand should i get? Thanks, and remember once you answer, you may be the lucky person to get best answer+10 sweet points!

I have tried many brands but the only one that I have found to work well is the HerbaLife brand. Here is the site that I get mine from.

the whole leaves are more what they drink in the asia countries, good, but not as convenient, you will also need a nice teapot if you go that route. The leaves are sold dried. In terms of antioxidants, all are about equal. I prefer the concentrated green tea drops, the kind with lemon and sweetened with stevia is awesome. I prefer my tea iced. It is just a matter of personal taste and convenience as what is best.

Green Tea is a product that has been growing in popularity for a couple years now. Typical of ancient herbs from the Chinese culture, Green Tea is loaded with healthy nutrients like antioxidants that will give you energy, assist with weight loss, and fight a number of diseases.
Now we have an even better product called Enhanced Green Tea. Just 1 serving of Enhanced Green Tea contains as much nutrients as 1 gallon of brewed green tea.
Studies suggest that green tea extract may boost metabolism and help burn fat. One study confirmed that the combination of green tea and caffeine improved weight loss and maintenance in overweight and moderately obese individuals. Some researchers speculate that substances in green tea known as polyphenols, specifically the catechins, are responsible for the herb’s fat-burning effect.
The benefits of green tea are numerous. In fact, if you were to go to PubMed.com and do a search for green tea, you’d find over 2,000 studies performed on green tea and its components (eg, EGCG, theanine, vitamin E, etc…).
Possible benefits are being investigated for weight loss, cancer prevention, antioxidant activity, cognitive enhancement, general good health and well being… and the list goes on and on.
You can order a free trial of Enhanced Green Tea from the source link below. So far all I’ve heard is that the Enhanced Green Tea supplement is helping people to feel great. It provides more energy and antioxidants than you would normally get from drinking cups of tea all day.
