OK im gonna be honest.
TEA HAS NEVER MADE ME FEEL GOOD JUST BECAUSE IT IS FUCKING TEA. NO MATTER WHAT TEA IT IS. NO DON'T TELL ME IM DRINKING THE WRONG SHIT BECAUSE IVE TRIED MANY DIFFERENT KINDS, LOOSE LEAF AND BAGGED, TEA DOESN'T MAKE ME FEEL SHIT.
It doesn't make me feel "high". It doesn't make me feel "enlightened". It doesn't make me feel "cleansed". Its fucking tea people FUCKING TEA. I think a lot of tea-heads just have read to much tea related shit. I drink tea because its good, I get no high or anything else from it. Its a fucking beverage.
If I drink caffeinated tea I'll feel the caffeine but just because its fucking caffeinated if I drank coffee it'd be the same thing.
IMO "tea-people" are placebo-ing it.

Well L-Theanine has been shown to work synergistically with caffeine to improve concentration more than the sum of the parts. The results were shown the be greater than placebo.
And I think you underestimate the power of aromatherapy. Lavender has been shown to reduce pain, reduce stress, and induce sleep in statistically significant numbers. I have several teas with lavender in them. I can't remember the study, but the smell of pumpkin pie increased vaginal wetness in women by 30%. Scents have a huge impact on the body and mind, and tea is very much a scent experience for me.
That's not to say I'm a tea-head. It's hot as shit in Florida, so I rarely drink it. But I enjoy it in the winter, and notice minor effects. I don't know who the fuck told you tea with enlighten you or get you high though. But it can help you go to sleep, relax, or concentrate on your studies etc.

i that the tea inside of a bag is
A. cheap processed shit of the lowest quality B. The tea bag itself obsorbs some of the flavor C. The tea is clumped together reducing surface area for extraction D. You get to pick where from and what kind of loose leaf tea u wish, whereas with bags your mostly just picking a "brand"
speaking of which i would like to hear everyone's sources for loose leaf, and there reports on quality and the kind u got

You do realize your link completely contradicts you, right? Your link states that antioxidants neuralize free radicals, and that they're healthy. And nowhere does it support your claim that free radicals do not cause deterioration of cells or cancer.

Wrong link??

Neutralize or destroy whatever. I didnt create the concept. And free radicals in abundance are not healthy when they bind with diseased cells. Try reading it again.
You seem to wanna argue with me, which is cool, I could care less. Arguing isnt my cup of tea . Anger is pass-ea these days and a hell of a boring time.

I've never met or read a "tea-head", I must have missed some threads!
I like tea because it tastes good, is warm and gives me energy.

You would be surprised the amount of fucking IDIOTS who claim tea (especially green tea, search it on this forum and you will get threads) get them high and make them feel enlightened. Its almost as though being a "tea-drinking acid dropping hippy" has become a fad in this day.
Also, aromatherapy is BULLSHIT. There is a show, Penn and Teller's Bullshit, and they go around finding topics that are bullshit and de-bunk them and they did an episode on aromatherapy and it was hilarious. I think its bullshit. Watch the episode and you will think its bullshit. They even went into how it takes TWO FUCKING WEEKS to become a licensed aromatherapist LOL. Watch it and have you're beliefs shattered.
And I was mostly saying that tea does what it says it will. Green tea (if caffeinated) will stimulate me JUST AS MUCH as a cup of coffee would. Its basically 1 cup GT = 1 cup coffee. I feel no different. And for the anti-toxins / anti-oxidant / anti-illness preventing properties... I still get sick if I drink tea. Always have, and probably always will since tea IS just a drink and all. ITS NOT OTHERWORLDLY OR DIVINE ITS A FUCKING DRINK.
