my new favorite summer tea

I have found the one chilled green tea product that is worth giving up one of my daily cups of freshly brewed hot tea. It is called Sencha Shot by a Japanese company called Ito En. I found it at a Whole Foods in Florida (and in San Francisco they have it at the Village Market at the Ferry Building & Rainbow Grocery). It is a small can of unsweetened, strong green tea that packs a big punch of the powerful tea antioxidants called "catechins." (About five times more than the average bottled green tea product!) It is slightly bitter and does not give you a big, jangly caffeine buzz. Sencha Shot has the same amount of antioxidant catechins as a green tea extract or pill, but has the advantage of being a delicious & refreshing beverage. My only wish is that it was organic, but in this case, the tea antioxidants, purified water, and high vitamin C content balance it out. Try it and let me know what you think!
