What is the best time to drink green tea?

Green tea contains caffeine, so it is best to drink it earlier in the day to avoid any sleep disturbances. Swap a cup of brewed green tea or matcha for your cup of coffee in the morning for a gentle caffeine boost. Drinking caffeine before exercise may enhance fat oxidation during exercise, so you may want to swap your typical pre-workout beverage for a hydrating green tea. Note that green tea may inhibit the absorption of iron and other minerals, so it is best to drink it between meals.

Does decaf green tea contain antioxidant benefits?

The antioxidant compound in green tea, EGCG, is in both caffeinated and decaf green tea; however, decaffeinated tea may have lower concentrations of antioxidants due to the decaffeinating process. There are two main methods used: direct chemical solvent and supercritical carbon dioxide decaffeination. Choose a decaf green tea brand that uses the carbon dioxide method as it preserves the most amount of polyphenol content.
