Well, it's not magic thin juice. It specifically says, on the packaging, that just drinking Celsius will not cause weight loss. It only works when you combine it with diet and/or exercise. It says it … more
Let's face it. There are a lot of so-called "energy" drinks and "calorie-burning" fluids on the market that make multiple promises to their would-be consumers. Most of these drinks claim to increase your … more
The subtitle of this fascinating volume is "How England Stole The World's Favorite Drink and Changed History." One may assume that is the author's choice. This reader's choice would be something … more
A bit to my surprise, this turned out to be a very pleasant-tasting drink. In my experience sport drinks or energy drinks are either too overpowering in their taste, or have an unpleasant "medicine"-like … more
Green tea has been a staple in China for centuries. They may not have known all of the specific health benefits of drinking it, but they must have known something was good about it. The western hemisphere … more
I was excited with the concept of being able to burn calories and boost my metabolism by consuming one can of a flavored drink. After opening a can and taking one sip, the disappointment was written all … more

Slow down, avoid clutter, take time. Simple Daoist precepts as embodied in a cup of tea and twenty minutes to make and appreciate its ritual savor. This sums up this short primer. It introduces you to … more
The best way to size up a tea, in my opinion, is to compare it directly to other teas in its category. Conveniently, I just had a can of AriZona Southern Style Sweet Tea last night, its taste relatively … more
I’ve had this tea latte from Starbucks a few times in the past, and each cup is slightly different from the ones before it. This might have something to do with the size cup you order, since I suspect … more
This is a great tea. Gorgeous color and scent. (You'll know you're going to love it when you open the can and the aroma drifts out.) Don't over-brew or it can be bitter, like all black teas. Just a couple … more
The narrator in T.S. Eliot's poem, "The Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrock" states: "I have measured out my life in coffee spoons." Sometimes I feel I have measured out my life in tea bags. I've been a tea … more

In China, whether someone wants to apologize, show gratitude, or show respect to someone, the most simple and cordial way to do this is to offer the person a cup of tea. It's obvious that tea is … more
Most of my friends step back in horror from lapsang souchong tea, but it's been a favorite of mine for a long time. I like the Twinings loose tea, though it has a slightly tamer flavor than the lapsang … more
Tea is a winter drink for me, so I when I had a chance to get some of this Rishi Organic Silver Needle Jasmine Loose Tea, I decided to give it a try. It came in a pretty and functional little double-capped … more
