Tea for Two and Two for Tea
I have successfully added one healthy habit to my day over the past month--I
now drink a couple of cups of green tea a day.
The secret to my success? I think starting this habit in the middle of winter
certainly upped the odds of sticking to it. It also helped to have several
different green tea flavors available that I really like. I kept the tea
bags right on my kitchen counter (next to the tea kettle) to remind me about
this no-calorie beverage option.
I am now somewhat addicted to enjoying a cup of tea mid-morning and one at
night. How "British" of me! I always found it rather intriguing that
countries like England seemingly stopped everything at a certain time of day
(every day) just to have a cup of tea! I am beginning to understand this
national pastime!
I made a point of trying this "green tea drinking thing" on for size after I
wrote an article for WebMD Weight Loss Clinic on the health benefits of tea. It's something I've read about before, but writing the article just solidified the
immediacy of this daily beverage ritual.
What will become of my new health habit come spring and summer? I think I
might just have to ice those cups of tea!

I just read your article about drinking three cups of green tea a day. Thank you,It prompted me to put on the tea pot and make a cup of green tea.
I would love to drink that much tea a day but I would be up all night if I drank it past noon!!
Most Green Tea has about 25-30 milligrams of caffeine per tea ba and there are green tea options that come in "Decaf" if that helps "anonymous"...

consumption of tea in greater volumes is not advisable i guess.
what brand of green tea is most effective for healtha and weight loss benefits
