I love drink green tea and almost after dinner cos I feel better when I do that, so I make some searches about it and I love to share these information with you here for our all benefits. Green tea is made solely with the leavesof Camellia sinensis, that has undergone minimal oxidation during processing. Green tea originates from China (4000 year ago as the history say) and has become associated with many cultures in Asia from Japan to the Middle East. Recently, it has become more widespread in the West, where black tea is traditionally consumed. Over the last few decades green tea has begun to be subjected to many scientific and medical studies to determine the extent of its long-purported health benefits,with some evidence suggesting regular green tea drinkers may have lower chances of heart disease and developing certain types of cancer. Green teas have about a third the caffeine content, by liquid volume, of coffee. It contain two caffeine metabolites (caffeine-like substances): the ophylline,which is stronger than caffeine,and the obromine, which is slightly weaker than caffeine. And there a lot of information about green tea that I couldn't put it all here. I hope these information are useful for anyone. Do you drink green tea? and what do you think about it?

I honestly do not know much about green tea other than I know it is supposed to be really good for you and your body,and I think it is supposed to help you keep from getting sick,I have personally never liked the taste of green tea but that is just me,but I know my grandparents drink green tea most of the time,and they seem to really like it,and whenever me and my fiance get a coupon for green tea,we always give it to them.

I enjoy drinking green tea. I find it most refreshing. What I would really like to do is to attend a traditional tea ceremony. I have seen it on film but to actually be there would be an extra plus for me.

I drink a lot of green tea as it is a good anti-oxidant and I find it very refreshing, I do mix it with black tea though as I don't like the taste on its own. Ellie :D

Hello dear alkurishy. Thank you for the information about green tea. I love to drink tea, either green or black or white tea, but most time I drink green tea and white tea followed by black tea. I love to drink tea in the morning after I start to work. Tea makes me more energetic and wide awake. I love it out of this purpose. I love this informative discussion and thank you again for it.
