First off if you are going to drink the "Starbucks" green tea then order it without syrup and without added water. Then there is 0 sugar and not diluted. The problem I have is it is so damn expensive. I buy green tea bags and boil my own making a gallon at a time then have it over the next week. It has been working for me.

Yeah just go out and buy any green tea bag. I bought Triple Leaf decaf yesterday at Vitamin World.... 20 bags for 2 bucks, and it tastes good.

I've been going to my local Asian market also. Sometimes I buy the bulk green tea, tea bags, or Oolong tea.....which is my favorite.

Seriously?
I've haven't seen a single grocery store that DOESN'T sell green tea bags. It's pretty common.

Starbucks use Tazo brand teas. It's a good brand , natural, High Quality and yes its expensive.
Info here: http://www.tazo.com/default.asp?hasFlash=1&init=
They have different flavors from ginger tea, oolong tea, black tea, passion tea, chamomile etc. I am not sure if they have gingko....
You can usually buy these of course from Starbucks and most grocery store carry it.
When you order your drink just tell them you want it Unsweetened or you want it less syrup.
I personally like the Brand "Ito en".
I buy mine at target.
You can check their info here > http://www.itoen.com/

Thanks, I'm just curious because of all the hype that surrounds green tea.
So I wanted to get that real ****. The kind that doctors talk so much about.

I purchase my green tea online from http://www.adagio.com/ Adagio Teas. Its the whole leaf stuff not in baggies, and you can buy other types. The kind I buy is the Gunpowder, because I actually like it and its one of the cheapest ones at $0.08 cents a cup which is good since I drink four cups a day.
Although you can easily check out your local grocery store to get the tea bags, or I'm sure there is some kind of local health store/Asian supermarket that has the whole leaf stuff like I linked to if you want that kind.

Anyone know how taking pills compares with actually brewing green tea?

The pills have a higher concentration of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epigallocatechin_gallate) and polyphenols ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyphenol). I prefer brewed; it keeps my mouth busy!
I buy mine over the internet and I always go for loose leaf organic; it tastes so much better than teabags.

Starbucks over here don't put any syrup in their Teas. If you say ''just Green Tea" they'll just add water.
