I was wondering if the process of making decaf green tea--or white tea---causes it to lose anything in the process. Does it lose any of its antioxidants? Is the process harmful or is it beneficial? How healthy is the green tea...

pergammano I hear you, about late at night! And yes, if you are drinking it b4 bedtime, or close to..I would think that you are right about decaf! Sorry, I did not know that you are diabetic, so of course, drinks like I like, Hot spiced Apple juice would be out of the...

ErrollLeVant I do not know, but it seems to me that the process would indeed change the overall effectiveness of the tea. Remove a component of the original and it cannot be the same.

pergammano Hey, Jellen, first of all Happy Easter! I am guessing that it would lose some of it's benefit by decafing it...as that is an extreme process! They are finding lots of benefits to caffeine! One of the sites that I think that you could go to to find a definitive...

suspenseful It depends on whether it is done naturally or artificially. I do not think it loses anything, but the decaf green tea would be better if you have difficulty sleeping and heart problems. It still retains the antioxidants, but it is better if you get it at a...

GayzeStarr Yes, you actually can. I'm far from an expert gardener. In fact I consider myself a rank beginner, and yet we got quite a bit of produce out of our little squares last season. You stagger your plantings, and only pop a couple of seeds into each hole. When...
