Long discussions at work this regarding hot drinks ... We have tea/making facilities in our kitchen that offer a wide range of hot drink options, including 7 types of coffee at various strengths and 3 types of tea, plus fruit teas. And then there's the green tea ..
Now Ryan, who I work with, has been extolling the virtues of green tea. It's full of antioxidants, which is good apparently, and also is good before going to the gym as it helps burn fat and not muscle. Now we only have Ryan's word for this, but consequently we've all been on green tea this week (Even me, who doesn't goto the gym but does walk a lot at lunchtime). We only had the Green Tea with Jasmine in stock, which to be honest I wasn't too keen on as the jasmine left a bit of an after-taste; so I had a word with the nice lady who orders the drinks in, and she got me some 'Japanese Green Tea' without any flowery stuff.Yesterday afternoon was the great tasting. We roped in Yuji, the Japanese guy who sits next to me and who is very particular about his green tea, and all had a cup. Yuji passed the tea as satisfactory, especially for something out of a packet, Ryan and Paul missed the flowers ... Me? Well I prefer it to the jasmine infused one, but do have to get past the fact it looks like something Shrek blew out of his nose ...
Still, watch me go waif like over the next few months as I drink green tea ... That said, I am going on a diet as of Monday (Chinese take-away tomorrow?!) as it's 10 weeks until I lounge around a pool ...
Cereal, green tea, and possibly running or rowing - how long do you think that will last?
