Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
There's a good chance you said "Irish coffee." Well why not make that green tea?
This ancient beverage has been around for thousands of years, and was first cultivated in China and India, or so they say. It quickly spread to other East Asian and Southeast Asian countries, but it spread more slowly west.
In addition to being a nice, mellow way to start your morning (green tea does have caffeine, so don't worry) it also may be good for you. Even though the FDA won't allow any labeling to that effect, as they say the science is unsubstantiated, there is a lot of evidence out there that green tea is good for your heart. It also is linked specifically with prevention of breast cancer and prostate cancer.
There are a lot of studies out there claiming positive findings for health benefits of green tea. Whether they're true or not is not for me to say. I do think drinking green tea can't hurt and it may help. So why not try it out for this year's green holiday.

All tea comes from the same plant and likely carries the same health benefits, but only green tea has been extensively researched. It's thought by many who are aware of this that black/white/oolong teas would have almost equal (if not completely equal) benefits.
Just an FYI from a tea nerd/podcaster. :)
