Wen-Yi sent me some Ten Ren white tea to help keep me healthy. I've never had white tea before. Imagine green tea without the "grassy" taste but with all the healthy benefits. After an initial taste that told me this was really good stuff, I added a little bit of lemon juice and really love it.
On the other hand, I tried sugar-free Red Bull this morning. I don't drink coffee and I've sworn off regular soda because of all the sugar so maybe this would be the kick I need some mornings. Nada. The taste is one that is truly acquired. I'd much rather drink Coca Cola's Vault Zero or sugar-free Mountain Dew MDX. I really like the taste of Vault Zero. There's even a website devoted to Vault fans called Vaultkicks.org.
Obviously, I should, and will, choose white tea over soda.
