I know Green tea has health benefits, but...
Thanks for the recommendations!
I bought a ‘sampler set’ and have been experimenting.
So far I have tried and liked, Green Lung Qing, Jasmine and Safron tea. These are tasty. A cup by my side and a pot brewing is relaxing and rewarding. I like the refreshing aftertaste (you don’t get that with a tea bag). Helps get me thru the day more comfortably.
I did not like Bergamot tea. It was dark and bitter. I may try it again in a few days. I have several more and will post my opinions.
Have not been able to locate any American ginseng yet (still looking, this is half the fun!)!
As for the question about alcohol in tea, thanks for everyone’s response. I will be keeping the two separate.
Question: I know Green tea has health benefits, but do any others (not just what I have listed) also help to detoxify and cleanse your body?

So much tea, so little time...
Hi all,
Vlad, I have not read any books on tea. I will look for the one you recommend the next time I am in Barnes and Nobel. If I cannot find it I may choose another.
I have recently purchased two additional teapots to add to my collection. The one I have been using was a Japanese Tetsubin Iron Teapot. It was great but I have recently put it aside.
My new Chinese Yixing Teapot brews wonderful tea! There is a warmth to the flavor that is not present with the Iron. I have not yet formed an opinion as to which I prefer, but there is a difference. I enjoy both!
My wife actually likes these teapots and has not complained about me buying them (yet). I have told her I would like to collect several more to use and to decorate my office and home. Right now, she thinks they are ‘cute’ and ‘classy’ works of art. I agree. They are expensive, usually between $30 and $90, but after switching from ‘Tetly Tea’ in a bag to delicious loose tea leaves, there is no turning back.
An excellent, soothing hobby! Each day begins with stretching on the floor, running thru my forms, push ups, sit ups, etc., getting to the office and brewing a pot of tea. The day ends with cleaning the teapot and placing it back on the shelf.
I appreciate all of the responses to my posts on tea. You have all greatly enhanced my new hobby! I look forward to sharing my experiences with everyone.
Truly,
Godzilla
