Wait, let me back track for a minute.

I’m walking through the grocery store and I come across the health food isle. Now, I normally do not spend much time there (if any) but tonight was a bit different. I took a stroll down the isle and started looking at all of the food and drinks they had. I came across the tea section and remembered reading somewhere that green tea was good for you. So, I grabbed a box. 48 tea bags in the box for $4.99 – if I was going to do something healthy, it might as well be cheap too.

But how did I end up here, writing this post and telling you all about my evening at the grocery store?

The experiment

Instead of just saying that I was going to drink green tea, I figured I’d challenge myself. Let’s see if I can drink this green tea for thirty days and then log the results. Do I feel better, does it help calm me down in the mornings, does it taste good, and so on. I like to experiment with stuff that’s a bit out of the ordinary, and this is definitely something I am not used to – you’re reading an article by a guy who keeps a case of Monster energy drinks in his house at all times.

So what I will be doing is drinking one cup of green tea every morning, for thirty mornings and then coming back here and logging my results. I’ve drank a full cup of it tonight as a test run, since I’ve never had it before and I was unsure if I’d need to put some sugar in it or something for flavor – yes, yes I do. I have to admit that this is not the most pleasant thing I’ve ever drank before in my life, but I am starting this and I will finish this. I’ll just try to drink it quickly until I get myself used to the flavor (or lack thereof).

What about you? Do you drink green tea?

I’d love to hear from some people who have drank green tea before, or currently drink it. Do you like it or are you a bit skeptical like I am? Let me know in the comments.

Here’s to an interesting thirty days. Cheers!
