Green Tea = FAQ

What is green tea?
Green tea, like all other teas, is made from the Camellia sinensis plant. Unlike darker teas like black tea and oolong tea, Green tea is unoxidized and retains much of its antioxidants and nutrients. Most of the worlds green tea is produced in either China or Japan and there are many varieties.

Does green tea really help aid in weight loss?
Yes! Green tea is an excellent weight loss aid. It boosts the metabolism, burns fat, and increases exercise endurance. There have been many scientific studies that prove how beneficial green tea is when it comes to losing the pounds.


Are there any health benefits from drinking green tea?
Tons! Green tea is healthier for you than pure water. Its powerful antioxidants fight cancer and diseases, improve digestion, promote healthy skin, enhance mental focus, boost the immune system, fight the aging process, and much more. Once again, there have been many scientific studies that prove these benefits.

Are there any side effects from drinking too much green tea?
Not really. Although green tea does contain caffeine, too much of which can cause restlessness and sleeping problems.

How much caffeine is in green tea?
Green tea contains about 20 mg of caffeine per average serving. This is much less than coffee (100-120 mg), and less than Oolong tea (30 mg) and black tea (40 mg).

How many cups of Green tea should I drink per day?
Although it’s still debatable, most research has found that drinking 4 or more cups per day will yield the maximum weight loss and health benefits.


Does iced green tea have the same health benefits as freshly brewed green tea?
If you brew it yourself, yes. If it’s “green tea” in a bottle from a grocery store, it probably doesn’t have the same benefits as natural green tea. Also, be aware that the healthy antioxidants in green tea are diminished over time if the tea is not refrigerated.
