I've recently started drinking hot teas, mostly flavored green teas.
does anyone know of any beneficial teas?
Im trying to cut back on my coffee, and soda intake.
any suggestions would be appreciated.

Green tea is a good start, although I don't know how beneficial flavored green teas are since they may have something added to them that may not be so good for you. Go with the idea that purer is better.
White tea is another good one, very high in antioxidants.
I try to keep caffeine intake to a minimum as well, I no longer drink coffee, but tea can have as much caffeine as coffee.
They do make decaf teas, but I buy the tea leaves, not the bags, and I swear I can tell a difference in taste.

jennyflyer, thanks for the reply, I will try some white tea. I have also heard of yogi detox teas, have you ever tried these?

I have not heard of those, I'll have to check them out.
I just hope they aren't like those teas that are supposed to clean out your, um, bowels and all.
My friend gave me that once saying it was a good detoxifying agent (she was clearly mistaken) and I was in pain for hours, I thought I was gonna have to go to the ER.

Rooibos, (pronounced "roy-boss"), Afrikaans for "red bush"; is a broom-like member of the legume family of plants and is used to make a tisane (herbal tea).
Commonly called South African red tea, the product has been popular in South Africa for generations and is now consumed in many countries.
