My wife and I just started our 7 day UltraSimple program and over the weekend received the UltraSimple Diet meals and products. So far, all is good and we are both feeling well, but the Green Tea (Mighty Leaf) is awful tasting. Does anyone have any suggestions to make it taste better or use a different tea. Please advise.

I find sipping the tea with a meal actually makes the meal better.

I'm not sure if it's legal,

I'm not sure if it's legal, but I sometimes add peppermint or red raspberry leaf tea to flavor mine.

Great suggestion...I will try that.  What is illegal about doing this?  Thanks, D

I cut a small piece of ginger and steep it with the tea once in a while, just for something different.

I think if you try some different brands, you will find one you like.  

Good luck!

I drink The Republic of Tea Daily Green.  It's lovely.  I don't know where you live but if there is a Peet's near you they also have some wonderful varieties of green tea.  The varieties can differ quite a bit in flavor so see if they will let you taste test.

I found a green tea at

I found a green tea at Trader Joe's that I enjoy quite a bit.  It's Stash Premium moroccan mint green tea.  The mint adds a nice flavor/aroma, and makes it easier to drink.  

I did the challenge last week, and used the prepared meals as well.  I tried the tea sent with the meals and the first day, didn't like it, but after being off of sweeteners for three or four days, it definitely tasted better.  I think it helps when your taste buds loose some the that need for sweetness.

Hope that helps!!

Best of luck on your detox week!!

Has anyone found an organic decaf green tea? Organic green teas are abundant but there do not seem to be any organic decaf teas.  Is there a reason for this?  Anyone know?

   Green tea is naturally caffinated.  I'm not sure about tea, but I know with coffee that it takes a chemical process to leach out the caffiene and so if they would have to do the same thing with green tea then it wouldn't be organic.

I've discovered that Chinese green tea tastes different than Japanese green tea. My whole foods store had a large box of organic green tea from China that I bought to make iced tea, and I've discovered it's not as "grassy" tasting as the Japanese tea. I've been mixing it 1/2 and 1/2 with white tea w/tangerine. It's really refreshing.

 

Just found another good one,

Just found another good one, Constant Comment green tea. And I tried the People's Green Tea from Republic of Tea (thanks for posting that!) and it was also good, totally drinkable. Turns out it's a Chinese green tea.

Lipton makes flavored green teas -- in about 5 or 6 different varieties -- I use these for when I'm away from home, or making iced green tea, since they are bag teas.

At home I use loose tea -- my favorite is the jasmine/green tea pearls from In Pursuit of Tea (website by same name) -- but try the Lipton version with jasmine in it first to see if you like it before committing to buy from In Pursuit -- you get a lot of tea for a lot of money from them!

You could also add a fruity herbal tea bag in too -- like Celestial seasonings! Or just fresh lemon or lime juice!

Green tea makes me gag when I am drinking it, and nauseated for a half hour after I choke it down. maybe it means something other than my body doesn't like it, but what are the alternatives? thanks!

I am new at this, and so far feeling baaaaaadddddd.

well the idea is to avoid

well the idea is to avoid caffine (english breakfast tea/coffee/soda) - green tea is very good for you (it does contain caffine in small amounts, but has a lot of antioxidents etc).  If you plain do not like green tea, or blends of green tea (you can find it with lemon, mint, ginger etc) then just try other naturally no-caffine equivs - rosehips/lemon/mint and all the other varieties of tea.

 Good luck!

I like the green tea (jasmine) from Gevalia.  you can order it online. 

Is it okay to have different varieties of green tea on the USD?
