Okay, so let me tell you about this green tea thing I’ve been into lately. It’s called Stash, and it’s actually pretty good. I was never a big tea drinker, to be honest. Coffee was always my go-to, but I wanted to try something different, something healthier, maybe.

So, I’m at the grocery store, staring at this wall of tea, feeling completely lost. There are so many choices! Black tea, herbal tea, white tea – it’s overwhelming! I just grabbed a box of Stash Premium Green Tea ’cause the package looked decent, and it said “premium,” so I figured, why not?

The first time I tried it, I just followed the instructions on the box. Boiled some water, put the tea bag in a mug, and poured the hot water over it. I let it steep for, I don’t know, three or five minutes? I wasn’t really timing it. The color turned into this light, kinda yellowish-green, and it smelled… grassy? I don’t know, it was a new smell for me.

I took a sip, and you know what? It wasn’t bad! It was definitely different from coffee, no sugar no milk in it. It was a little bitter, but not in a bad way. It tasted… clean? And it actually gave me a little energy boost, which surprised me. I guess it’s the caffeine they talked about.

Since then, I’ve been playing around with it. Sometimes I add a little honey if I’m craving something sweet. And I found out they have other green tea flavors too! I tried their Moroccan Mint Green Tea the other day. It’s got this minty freshness that’s really nice, especially in the afternoon. It’s like a little pick-me-up without the jitters of coffee.

I even started looking up stuff about green tea online. Apparently, it’s got all these health benefits, like antioxidants and stuff. I don’t know much about all that, but if it’s good for me, that’s a bonus! They also have this Pomegranate Raspberry Green Tea that sounds interesting. Maybe I’ll try that one next.

Now, I’m not saying I’m completely ditching coffee. But this Stash green tea has become a regular part of my routine. It’s a nice change of pace, and I actually enjoy the taste.

• Boil water.
• Put a Stash green tea bag in a mug.

Who knew I’d become a green tea person? Life’s full of surprises, I guess.
