rach 1 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Recently I started drinking this green tea called "herushia". At first I didn't like it at all but I really do like it now. Got a kind of strongish bittery taste to it. What other cold teas do you like? I like trying out all the new ones, there are so many. People back home are like "COLD TEA my gran used to drink that in the war!" Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Oooii! Ocha is the second most popular soft drink in Japan after Coke. That one and Nama-cha are very drinkable. Coca-cola's teas are usually pish. Link to post Share on other sites
daver 0 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 can't stand the stuff. i like it hot, but when cold, the flavour has a strinking resemblence to dirt water. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 cold green tea with a very small slice of lemon. Best drink in the morning after a night's heavy drinking. Link to post Share on other sites
kintaro 0 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Dirt water? I just say no! But a nice cup of puarucha or oocha is always nice. I can't tolerate Lipton's peach, lychee, etc sugary teas. Tea does not need sugar. I've always strangely liked McDonald's tea with no sugar or lemon. It's been the only reason I've visited there in the past 10 years. Link to post Share on other sites

fukdane 2 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 The brown labelled suntory one is the one I like best, I drink a lot of that. Even make some uron tea myself. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I like Namacha. Ewok and I just got a Kirin Namacha here in Ayatthuya and it had sugar in it... Link to post Share on other sites

I believe it, but it makes so little sense. Coke and green tea are light years apart. Why Coke is ichiban in Japan is beyond me. I am an OJ addict myself. I drink between 1 and 3 litres on summer weekdays and often 10 litres on the weekend. After 4 years and two countries I am at last back in a nation that enjoys good fruit juice! There's no Tropicana crap here, that's for sure. I also really enjoy apple juice, but it has to be cloudy. Link to post Share on other sites

cal 6 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Took some home to make while I was there.... lots of eugghhh comments around when I mentioned I was making "cold tea". Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Oh yeah! Green tea is great! Namacha is my standard choice when buying a bottle. I like making up sanpincha to drink cold. It's actually just a variation of jasmine tea done the Okinawan way. Link to post Share on other sites
Thunderbird2 0 Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 I much prefer cold tea to hot tea. Link to post Share on other sites

soubriquet 0 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I love tea too. I drink green tea in the day, but this is my breakfast. I'm still working my way through the 2 kilos of BOPF I brought back from Sri Lanka Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Some fine char you have there, Soubs, but is that milk pasteurized? I bet you can get it your inaka. There are four or five varieties in my inaka. Even a skimmed one for fatties. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I leave this kind of stuff to soubriquette. It's standard supermarket pasteurised that we use at home. She buys direct from a local dairy for the factory. They supply unpasteurised milk, plus four different types (fat content) of cream for the cakes. Link to post Share on other sites
