What is Green Tea?

How to use Green Tea
Steep 1 tsp loose leaf or 1 tea bag in 175°F (80°C) water for 2–3 minutes. Drink 2–3 cups daily. Avoid boiling water — it makes green tea bitter and degrades catechins.

Contains 25–50 mg caffeine per cup. May interfere with iron absorption if consumed with meals. Those sensitive to caffeine should limit afternoon/evening use.
