    I have a question. Why can't you re-steep with tea bags?

    Tea bags are made with the lowest quality tea and the leaves are crushed up into tiny pieces instead of left whole (or almost whole) like loose leaf tea is. Those tiny pieces release pretty much everything except the tannins with the first steeping.

    If you use loose leaf and your own steeping bags, you can re-steep. this refers only to commercial tea bags.

    green tea has some good antioxidants and other nutrition, but it's not a magical fat burner or whatever many float out there.

    Just to follow up... Could green tea decrease appetite?

    I personally have not experienced this...I drink green tea fairly regularly and have a big appetite.

    Hahaha I'm glad it's not just me!
    I have been drinking matcha tea as I don't tend to have as much green tea as recommended. Some matcha in the morning (sometimes with spirulina for the extra nutrients!) and a dash of milk goes a long way.

    I love chai and also have it with a dash of milk whilst at work.

    I used to drink green tea then changed over to rooibos tea, a herb tea from South Africa, love its light sweet flavour and it's naturally caffeine-free with very low tannin. I buy the Redbush brand as they donate a percentage of sales to bushmen charity Kalahari Peoples Fund to give something back to local communities. I also boycott all Nestle products - www.babymilkaction.org/nestlefree. Not suggesting anyone else should do this, of course, just saying it's what I do.
