Taste Test Tuesday: Celestial Seasonings Two New Fun Green Tea Flavors!
I'm a green tea enthusiast...I admit it. I drink about two cups of green tea a day without fail and half the time it's iced and half the time it's hot. But it's almost never plain green tea. Although I enjoy traditional green tea when dining in Japanese or Chinese restaurants, in the comfort of my own home, I opt for the flavored green teas.
I'm always up for trying new flavored green teas and so I was happy to find two new flavors from Celestial Seasonings. Celestial Seasonings has developed a new line of all-natural green tea that they say "eliminates the bitterness." These teas are actually a blend of green and white tea (which is also brimming with antioxidant phytochemicals). The white tea comes from the tender buds and low-tannin young leaves of the plant.
The two flavors I tried and I must say THOROUGHLY ENJOYED are:
I REALLY liked the mandarin Orchard tea iced and I REALLY liked the Blueberry Breeze tea hot. That's kind of backwards in terms of caffeine though since I tend to drink the hot green tea at night and the Blueberry is the one that has caffeine in it, while I tend to drink the mandarin flavored tea (iced) in the day time and that happens to be the one that's decaffeinated.
To make either as iced tea, just put 4 bags in a pitcher or 6 cup measure and pour in about 6 cups of boiling water. Let the bags steep for about 10 minutes then remove the bags. Keep in refrigerator to chill or pour directly into a glasses filled with ice and enjoy immediately.
There are three really good reasons to drink green tea:

- Decaf mandarin Orchard (a decaf blend of green and white tea)
- Blueberry Breeze (a blend of green and white tea)

There are three really good reasons to drink green tea:
- Green teas today taste so wonderful-there are so many flavor and brand options to choose from. Drinking green tea is an absolutely enjoyable taste experience!
- Green tea is calorie free, a great substitute for calorie-containing beverages that you might be trying to cut down on.
- Drinking green and white tea is a super healthy habit - gobs of studies have linked green tea and the phytochemicals in green tea to reducing the risk of the top diseases in America.
