Green Tea, a drink which is believed to have been a part of Indian and Chinese cultures since as late as 5000 years back, has long been rumored to contain healing properties. Various claims say that it can even stop Alzheimers, raise metabolism, and a slew of other things. To see more information about Green Tea and a list of Green Tea's Unproven Claims check out Wikipedia.
And Green Tea can add something else to its list of claims: getting you drunk. Well, not quite, but this is true: a green tea flavored Vodka is out, meaning you can get all the benefits of Green Tea from liquor. Great!
No word on whether the antioxidant properties actually survive in the alcohol, but the fine folks at Uncrate did have this highly amusing review:
Quote:
"Fight off cancer and high cholesterol while getting a buzz with Charbay Green Tea Vodka ($36). This crisp and refreshing flavored vodka took nearly five years to create, and it shows — the infusion of flavor from first-growth green tea from the Anhwei Province makes it about as smooth as any flavored booze out there. Plus, thanks to its antioxidants, you'll finally have an excuse to drink during the week."
Worth a look? We say yes. It's not everyday a flavor this intriguing and reportedly succesful comes along for Vodka. We never liked Absolut Raspberry much.

this is like pouring tequila into a slimfast shake, it doesnt really make sense as anything other than a marketing campaign. Still, its a great marketing campaign, because people who don't think about it will feel less guilty drinking this vodka than regular liquor
What clever marketing! Kill 2 birds with one stone! I would love to taste it.
