Yeah, green tea is great! I like it hot, with nothing in it.
I was totally on a green tea kick a few weeks ago. I was drinking it every day for awhile. Now it's just too hot and I don't really like iced tea.
I thought I didn't like it before, but it was just because I steeped it for too long. You only leave the bag in for like, a minute or two and it's best when the water's not quite boiling yet.
anyone wanna post how you make iced green tea?
a friend of mine gave me some yesterday that was divine, but store bought. i think i need to know how to make it at home.
It's kind of an acquired taste for me. Last year BD, Jayden, and I visited some of BD's family in Japan. I had never really liked Green Tea, but after drinking it alot while we were there, it really grew on me. :)

I love Green Tea! I try and have a cup/bottle of tea every day. Green Tea is one of my favorites.
Panera makes a really good iced Green Tea. That's the main reason I go there (besides the AWESOMELY good sandwiches).
