Thanks Donna. I just bought a box of green tea a few weeks ago - green tea w/lemon grass - it's good and also green tea with orange spice - that was very good - ANYWAY - I've been trying to drink 2 cups a day. I really have been enjoying it.

Thanks for reminding us with your post that it truly is good for us.

Love to you ...

Mary Jo
