Tea Benefits

Green Tea contains about 50 milligrams of caffeine per cup. This depends on how strong you brew your tea and how large your cup is. This is less caffeine than a cup of coffee, but nonetheless, it does contain caffeine. The caffeine, I would venture to say, is the reason we may see increases in alertness and possibly an increase in metabolism causing some weight loss. Caffeine will do that to people. There is nothing wrong with those effects as long as you don’t have any other that may cause problems when you drink Green Tea. Please keep in mind that there are drawbacks to Green Tea. Pregnant women shouldn’t take green tea because of the caffeine and related problems with the fetus which is indicated in some medical journals. People who are sensitive to caffeine should also be careful. Green Tea may prove to be an important herbal supplement over time as more studies are done and proven in the medical community. If you don’t have any problems with it and you enjoy drinking tea, do so, you may gain other benefits.
