What brand are you swilling?
Teck Soon at work and have a box of Double Dragon to be opened at home (just finished the other box of Teck Soon).Think the Teck soon has a little bit more of an aftertaste than I'd like, but nice enough otherwise.

With my tea I insist on pouring the water (boiling mind you) onto the bag prior to adding the milk. One sugar seems to be the correct sweetness.
Oh and I like to bite little bits off each end of my Cadburies chocolate fingers to use them to suck up my brew
Another thing is that I use PG Tips pyramid type because I hate the green tea stuff.
Green tea is the reason why folk of asian descent are genetically less adapted to alcohol than those of european descent. For thousands of years those in eastern countries got around crap water supplies by boiling it and making green tea, whilst in Europe the solution was to brew it into weak beer.

Eeek! Will stop drinking it then!Useless fact no. 327b
Currently have a Teck Soon selection pack of teas, and yes, ickle stronger than I expected....
Tend to try whatever loose leaf is available from the chinese supermarkets - do not touch PG etc versions *bleugh* - HOWEVER, Whittards instant Green Tea with Mandarin is lovely to drink cold in the summer.

They didn't just use "green tea". Jasmine and Oolong are two other teas they drank.Useless fact no. 327b
Green tea is great! I'm just about to try a cup of Dragonfly Tea Organic Moonlight Jasmine Tea. Another favourite is their Organic Swirling Mist White Tea. I must confess to being seduced by the name and packaging. The tea has a very delicate taste and fragrance and is very refreshing. I also had some jasmine and green tea from the Chinese supermarket that was a quite sharp and more of an acquired taste. I've found peppermint green tea particularly good as an after dinner tea. I tend to favour drinking green tea when I am ill or feel like a lighter tea. I love most teas and currently have 25 varieties in my cupboard

How much of those are actually green teas? The key thing about green tea is the drying process and the part of the leaf they use... unless those teas mentioned above (White, Jasmine, Peppermint) were mixed with green tea leaves. Just thought I'd mention it if you are expecting the benefits (anti-oxidant etc) to be the same; that said, white tea apparently also contains anti-oxidant properties.
