    I drink lipton green tea. with all my main meals. I don't know why it's just a habit. I gave up coffee, pop, fruit juices, milk when I began my journey on Dec 6 2010. So far so good.
    I'm unsure about the decaf - I guess you won't get the caffeine part. I'm sure someone will inform you - have a great day :happy:

    Alot of people make the mistake of thinking that all of the hype for Green Tea is over the BAGGED tea that you buy in stores by generic brands like Lipton, Celestial, etc. The green tea with the MOST impact on your health that you'll find is the real leaves or powder that you buy and brew from scratch. Don't expect to see a big change just by drinking the bagged green tea, as it has the least benefits. Granted, it's still green tea to an extent so it doesn't hurt, but you won't see that big of a difference. You could always drink the higher end bagged stuff which I've found also tastes better. :)

    For anyone that lives in the UK and wants to know some good places to get leaf green tea from, I can definitely recommend Whittards.

    Their green jasmine tea is just SO good and they sell one person teapots and cups to make it in as well :happy:
