Honto — Green Tea
by blackhatgk on Jun.20, 2008, under Gaijin in Tokyo
Really? Me.. drink green tea?.. Well.. I figure I need to come up with something cheaper than soda to drink while in japan. Especially while eating out. So I’ve started trying to drink green tea.
This may not be amazing to most of you.. But to those that know me.. They know I absolutely hate Tea.. Any kind of tea. Its that “Tea” flavor that tea leaves in your mouth that I hate. But I am also very stubborn. So I know there is no reason for me to dislike that flavor so I am forcing myself to drink green tea. I’ve got to say, the first cup wasn’t that bad. Of course I only steeped it for 1 minute, and it was a larger coffee cup I made it in, so it might have been weaker than your average green tea, but the fact I could drink it and say it was “Ok” at all is amazing.
BTW, two weeks from now I will be waiking up for my first saturday in Tokyo… I will have been in tokyo for almost 18 hours by then..

i’m not a big fan of tea either and have tried to force myself on it too. It’s good for you, so on and so forth. Good luck. If you manage to start to like it, I’m might try to as well again too.
