tazo chai
mint tea--not to often
oolong tea (also known as woolong)
i want to know how this will affect me in the long run because i know its pretty bad now. maybe you could suggest some more natural teas.
Answers:
I am pretty close to your age( I'm 14) and I drink both tea and coffee.
If it is a caffeinated tea, such as tea from the actual tea plant(Camellia siensis) then you should try to cut back, like only 1 or 2 cups a day.
However, for a more natural option, you might want to try brewing your own herbal tea. Maybe you could plant an herb garden and use the herbs in your tea. Herbal teas are naturally caffeine-free, so there is less guilt here. You could use mint, lavender, basil, dandelion, ginger root...the list goes on and on. Plus, you won't spend as much money as opposed to buying the Lipton or the Tazo that you mentioned.
Bottom line: A little tea is actually good for you, but don't go overboard or it can have bad effects.
didn't your mother ever tell you that drinking tea would stunt your growth?
i suggest that you drop this habit now, and run away from it before it catches up to you. (a.k.a. you're 4'9'' for the rest of your life).
Tea is great for you! i dont know why you would think its bad, as long as there is not much caffeine.
Never heard of that being the case for anyone...I believe it's better for you than drinking coffee though...
Oolong tea helps promote weight lose green tea helps fight cancer, Chai just tastes good. You are way better off drinking tea then energy drinks or sodas any nay say-er that says other wise is living in the dark ages of medical propaganda.
i dont think its bad
I am from india................people are addicted to tea here................i think drinkind too much of tea is not good for health........................... it is better for you to drink fruit juices as they make you younger and beautiful.........and also good for your health...........where as tea ,it makes you look older. DO REMEMBER THE SAYING....HEALTH IS WEALTH.
