Alright, let’s talk about this green tea, the kind that ain’t in no bags, you know, the loose leaf stuff. They call it “organic loose leaf green tea,” sounds fancy, huh? But it’s just tea, leaves and all, nothin’ more, nothin’ less.

First off, what’s this “organic” mean? Well, from what I gather, it means they ain’t sprayin’ it with all them nasty chemicals. You know, the stuff that kills bugs and weeds? Yeah, they don’t use that on this organic tea. Makes sense, I guess. I wouldn’t wanna drink bugs and weed killer, would you? It’s supposed to be better for you, this organic stuff. They say it’s healthier.

Now, this loose leaf green tea, it ain’t like them teabags you dunk in your cup. This is the real deal, the whole leaves, not chopped up bits and dust. Some folks say it tastes better that way, more… I dunno… “flavorful,” they say. Me? I just think it looks prettier, like little green curly things in your cup. You gotta use a strainer though, unless you like eatin’ leaves.

• You got different kinds too, like this “Bancha” stuff. They say it’s good for your belly after you eat. A little earthy, they say. I ain’t no expert, tastes like tea to me.
• And then there’s that “Matcha” stuff, the bright green powder. Folks are crazy for it now, mixin’ it in everything. From what I hear, it gives you energy, but I get enough energy from workin’ in the garden all day.
• And another kind, “Gyokuro”, they say it’s the best of the best, but I don’t know. Sounds like city folk talk to me. Good tea is good tea, no matter what fancy name they give it.

Now, where to get this tea? Well, you got your fancy stores, the ones with all the pretty packages and high prices. But I say, look around. You can find good tea in the most unexpected places. Sometimes even at them online shops, they ship it right to your door. Just make sure you ain’t gettin’ ripped off. And be careful about buying cheap tea, some of them got bad stuff in it like lead. You don’t want to be drinking that!

They say green tea is good for your heart and your blood pressure and all that. Something about “antioxidants” they call ‘em. Sounds like somethin’ you put in your car, not your body, but hey, if it keeps you healthy, I ain’t complainin’. I drink it ‘cause I like it, warm and comforting on a cold day, or iced on a hot one.

Making this tea ain’t rocket science neither. You heat up some water, not too hot, mind you, just little bubbles, then you pour it over the leaves in your cup or pot. Let it sit for a bit, they say three minutes is good, but I just wait till it looks right, you know, that nice green color. Then you strain it and drink it. Simple as that.

Some folks add sugar or honey, but I like it plain. You get the real taste of the tea that way. And don’t throw them leaves away after one brew, you can use them again, maybe even a third time. Just let them dry out a bit. Waste not, want not, that’s what I always say.

So, there you have it, my two cents on this organic loose leaf green tea. It’s tea, plain and simple, but maybe a little bit better for you and the earth, too. Try it, you might like it. And if you don’t, well, there’s always coffee, right? But that’s a whole other story for another day.

But always remember, it’s better to buy it in a proper store or website. You do not want tea with too much chemicals and bad stuff in it! And look for free shipping! Nobody wants to pay for shipping! Always try to find a good bargain, don’t spend too much money on it.

And that’s all I gotta say about this green tea, it ain’t that complicated. It’s good for you, tastes fine, and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg if you know where to look. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go tend to my garden.
