pardon my laziness as far as searching for the origin of this green tea thing, but could someone give me cliff's notes as to what's going on?

i've started to drink caffeinated green tea as a coffee substitute, as i have a major weakness for creamer, and also because i've seen all of y'all getting into it, and i'm wondering what it's all about.

Hi Ruthie!!! Basically, we are just all trying to get a minimum of 3 cups of green tea into our bodies. Not only is it wonderful for antioxidant properties, but it helps rev up the metabolism. I think most of us have found that 3 cups is the minimum you need for weight loss help. And this isn't really a challenge anymore, just a place where we tea drinkers talk about how much we love it.

Here's one of the links I originally found that talks about the benefits of green tea: Green Tea Benefits
