I dont think drinking the dregs will harm you. I put green tea bags in
bottles of water and let them steep in the refrigerator for green ice tea.
When I get tired of the flavor I just add a drink straw to it. Hopefully I
can get some of that magic fairy dust.

A little apple juice mixed in the green tea, changes the taste in a way that
most people who at first dont like the taste of green tea suddenly like it.
A bit of experimentation is called for here.

These people import a quality tea from japan and recommend eating the tea
leaves.
