When I first started drinking green tea, it's taste was awful..but I so desperately wanted to get on it that I ignored the taste and added some natural sweetener which also comes in the leaves form(yet one more anti oxidant )..so it's like icing on the cake...I am so used to it now that I wouldn't prefer the regular tea in milk and would rather go for the green tea..it just takes a while to get used to the taste..also organic green teas taste better than the regular ones that we often see on shelves
