Advantages: Lemon masks green tea taste

Disadvantages: If you hate green tea, you won't like this

I drink Green Tea because it's good for me. In fact, scientists often claim it can decrease the risk of certain cancers, decrease plaque build up in the mouth, increase metabolism for weight loss, help with arthritis, lower cholesterol, and have many other health related benefits.

The problem is, it doesn't taste very nice - well, not to me anyway. It's not horrible, but I don't find it completely pleasant. And this is where Twinings Green Tea with Lemon comes in. My theory is that the lemon flavour will take the edge off the green tea flavour. It kind of works, but it's like any fruit tea - you put the tea bag in the cup, and as the boiling water hits the tea bag, the most amazing aroma is produced - you fool yourself into thinking you're going to taste a wonderfully fruity concoction - but you never do. In reality you taste mildly flavoured water.
Anyway, the end result is that I can enjoy green tea a bit more than I did before.

Summary: It's good for you, and tastes... ok.
