Green Tea
I have been bad about staying on ER4YT lately, and have been drinking
coffee regularly. After I read the article on green tea, I made some
and drank it. I like the taste of some of the varieties, but it still
gives me a stomachache! However, with all the benefits listed in the
article, I want to learn to drink it!
Is green tea more acidic than coffee? Coffee does not give me a
stomachache.

Coffee makes my heart pound, so I’m usually too worried about that to
According to CR4YT, Green Tea isn’t of any benefit to Type O’s.
notice whether it’s more acidic.
Kinda disappointing, because I really love it. Oh well. If Green
Tea bothers your stomach, try Rose Hips tea. It’s HB, calming and
yummy.

P.S. Have you tried decaf Green Tea? I can’t have caffeine so I
drink Bigelow decaffeinated. It doesn’t bother my stomach, but
everyone’s different.

<<The O blend tea by the good doc himself (and the Republic of teas….
GREAT herbal tea company) has green tea in it.
Without comment as to whether green tea is neutral or avoid, there is no
green tea in the Sip Right For Your Type tea for O’s. I have the canister
right in front of me and there is no green tea listed in the ingredients.

I like green tea with soy milk, Edensoy plain, NOT lowfat, is my favorite.
Do you know that you let the water stop boiling before putting the tea leaves or bags in it, then let it steep for 30 seconds, MAYBE a minute? Otherwise it is too bitter.
Try Republic of Tea and TAZA brands, as they have some green teas mixed with other things that are really tasty. I generally prefer organic green tea, though, as I understand tea and coffee are heavily sprayed crops, and foreign countries don’t have the restrictions on some of the worst pesticides that we have in the U.S.

I buy Stash Moroccan Mint Green Tea and add a soy creamer. Silk is the best
brand but it isn’t available in all areas. Then I add 3 teaspoons of raw
sugar to it. Its what I’ve finally come up with after alot of
experiementing. Bigelow Constant Comment also has an orange citrus blend
which is nice. It took me a long time to give up coffee. I gradually
switched then gradually switched from real cream.

<<Is there anyone who generally avoids caffeine but has found that green tea
is okay
I am someone who, even before ER4YT, had major problems with coffee. I
would become so acidic, even from decaf coffee, that I would end up on the
floor in fetal position whimpering with pain. I have no such symptoms with
green tea. Yes, if I drink too much I may get a little “buzz”, but no
physical discomfort whatsoever.
The most important thing to remember about brewing green tea is never let
the tea steep for more than 30 seconds to a minute or the tea becomes
bitter.
Enjoy!
