Green tea is excellent because of the catechins basically that are inherent in green tea. There are many other nutrients but its very high in vitamin C, especially the young leaves of the green tea. So the catechins protect against cancer, the vitamin C of course as we know, is a healing nutrient, very beneficial for your tissue development in general. You're getting all of that from green tea. A lot of times people are concerned about the fact that it also contains caffeine, but the amount of caffeine thats in green tea is at most, in the older green tea, half of what you get in a regular cup of coffee. So truly its not something to be concerned about because the benefits far outweigh any concern over caffeine.
