道地 Honey Green Tea.

green tea... If you are not a big fan of pop / soda, but you still like tasty drinks, "道地 Brand Honey Green Tea" is a good alternative. It is lightly flavored bottled green tea that is much less sweeter than other bottled or canned ice teas like Arizona, Nestea or Brisk. It tastes really refreshing and if you like green tea, you'll love this. I drink this stuff by the litre. lol. I don't know what the english name of the brand is as there is no english name on the bottle anywhere. In Toronto, you can get the "道地 Brand Honey Green Tea" at chinese supermarkets like Foody Mart or T & T. They come in either small 500 ml bottles or bigger 1500 ml bottles. The 1000 ml bottles are often on sale for 2/ $5 (regular price usually around $2.99 each I
think). **UPDATE: 1500 ml bottles on sale at T & T for $1.99 as of May 2, 2009!

Quick Notes: Foody Mart is located in the Bamburgh Circle Plaza on Warden, South of Steeles. T & T is located in the plaza at the North West corner at Warden/ Steeles

Chivas & Greentea:
If you like to drink (...alcohol), a popular drink is to mix sweetened bottled green tea with Chivas Regal Whiskey. Thi
s drink was very popular when I went to clubs and bars in China and can also often be found in asian Karaoke places in Toronto. If you don't like to drink, the green tea tastes great by itself!
