Tag: Caffeinated green tea

While green tea is widely praised for its health benefits, its natural caffeine content often prompts a common question: which green tea is best, caffeinated or decaffeinated? The right answer depends entirely on your personal health goals, energy needs, and overall caffeine tolerance.

According to research, the decaffeination method used for green tea has a significant effect on its antioxidant content, retaining as much as 92% with the CO2 method versus as little as 18% with chemical solvents. Choosing between decaffeinated or caffeinated green tea hinges on your personal health goals, sensitivity to stimulants, and the time of day you plan to drink it.
