Drink it when you like. It's tea. It isn't going to appreciably 'boost' your metabolism. Sorry. It's a tasty, calorie free beverage, but that's about it.

Green tea's reputation as a "metabolic booster" comes from the fact that it has caffiene in it, which can bump up the metabolism in a very small, almost immeasurable, temporary way. A cup of coffee would do the same.

There's no actual benefit in green tea other than the fact that it helps to hydrate the body in a low-calorie way (if you drink it without honey, sugar, or cream).

I do like it sprinkled on top of a little vanilla ice cream though, IMO, real Japanese Ocha. I'm blaming my trip to Japan on that... such an interesting flavor mix.

I drink mine on cold nights with a bit of honey. I guess you should drink it whenever and however you like.

p.s.: It doesn't do anything magical.

I love green tea. I usually drink it in the morning instead of coffee. I've noticed that I feel more awake and have more energy than when I drank coffee. It could just be me.

When you want it, and how you like it

P.S. it's not magic

Your weight loss is a result of a calorie deficit. Green tea does not help you lose weight....sorry.

There have been studies proving" and dis-proving this. If you like tea, drink it. If it keeps you from drinking other higher calorie beverages....great

I drink it in the morning on the way to the train station. It's bloody cold right now, so it warms me up. Otherwise is does bugger all for weight loss.
