Loose tea prices vary greatly but generally loose tea is cheaper than similar varieties of bagged tea. My favorite is "Russian Caravan", a blend of green and oolong tea, from www.portorico.com. It's $12 a pound but a half pound lasts me several months, while a $3 box of tea bags (Twinnings 20ct, for example) lasts less than two weeks if I drink nothing else. Hi, I just found your site.

Just incase anyone would like to know- if you drink milk with your tea it actually negates the effects of the antioxidants. Why? well because the proteins in milk, called caseins, interact with the antioxidants, catechins! So its okay to drink milk with your tea if you are drinking it for the taste, but not so much if you are for the health benefits! Hello!

Even the bitter ones. (I pretty much have to pinch my nose to drink it, but I figure I have to drink it.) I bought a new brand of loose leaf green tea thinking that it would taste similar to the brand that's in our office. But the one I bought is very bitter. I've made about 8 cups worth and it's been in the refrigerator since last week. I'm drinking it cold. It tastes a little refreshing. But I'm worried that it is too old. Can I be drinking spoiled tea?

I'm glad to hear that something I like is good for me. I drink several cups a day of Republic of Tea's Golden Yunnan (black tea). I get it from them via mail order by the pound, loose. It's the one tea, with a splash of milk, that I never tire of. Mark,

I do love my tea. However, generally I have to stick with the bagged version as it's the only practical choice at work. Good post Mark. I do love my tea.
