So basically you are trading caffeine for teaine and you think you're on your way to a healthy life?

1) Tea has caffeine too.
2) Coffee has health benefits as well. A study just came out showing regular consumption prevents colon cancer.
3) Only douchebag losers smoke.
Hope this helps! :D

if i didnt drink coffee in the morning my whole day is screwed, sleepy. agressive without it, so it becomes addictive, not so beneficial, i needed 3 days to get over it. yesterday slept 16 hours without it.

By weight tea has more caffeine than coffee.
It's just that you don't use as much tea as you do coffee for a cup's worth of beverage.

love this stuff. real easy to deal with... just add water, ice. bingo- perfect greeen tea, (it can be tricky to brew correctly to get the full benefits)
always felt so much better throughout the day when drinking green tea as opposed to coffee.. but had issues with the company I order this from so havent had any in a while. Still love my coffee in the AM.

green tea doesnt do shitt.

First: teaine = caffeine
Black tea similar to coffee
green tea, lot less caffeine than coffee
white tea hardly any caffeine
Insomnia, proper green tea does not come in boxes filled with freeze dried powder.
green tea can be found in toko's, oriental shops, health shops.

well, it gets the job done! i dont have time to brew it correctly.... comes out like shit! I think I'm ADD :(
BTW.. I used to buy this in a health shop. its better than brewing it yourself, as alot of the antioxidants are lost if green tea is brewed too hot, too long, etc. it has to be timed just right.
get the plain sugar free unflavored one though.

I use a water cooker, and a teapot with a drop-in tea sif: (http://www.bredemeijer-webshop.nl/scripts/_incSendBinary.asp?path=/assets/1300%20Wset.jpg&height=400)
after the water has boiled you let it rest for 5 mins, it'll be around 85 degree centigrade, then let the tea sif into the pot for 2 mins, possibly a bit shorter for a lighter tea. try white tea as well, very relaxing later in the evening. can't see how it could go wrong (except for using too much tea).

Green tea seems to help you burn off more fat, some reports show its almost as good as bronkaid.

Green tea is the most overhyped shit on the face of this planet.

one of the reasons I stopped drinking so much of it is because I read an article stating that green tea leaves contain alot of flouride. too much flouride causes hypothyrodism (slow metabolism). flouride is supposedly in the medications used to treat hyperthyroidism(fast metabolism). Ill try to find the articles.
i do miss the energy it gave me.

you can drink it, that is an old 'wives tale'. no truth at all to green tea slowing thyroid output. in fact it boosts metabolism slightly.

The metabolism boost is about 4% based on some stuff posed on Lyle McDonald's board.
