Decaf Green Tea...Does It lose anything in the process?

It depends on whether it is done naturally or artificially. I do not think it loses anything, but the decaf green tea would be better if you have difficulty sleeping and heart problems. It still retains the antioxidants, but it is better if you get it at a health food store rather then at the supermarket. As for white tea, it adds a protection against cancer, lowers cholesterol, protects your heart, and gives you stronger bones. OH and it helps in diabetes. So maybe I should try it myself. I just have to get used to the taste, though.

I do not know, but it seems to me that the process would indeed change the overall effectiveness of the tea. Remove a component of the original and it cannot be the same.

Hey, Jellen, first of all Happy Easter! I am guessing that it would lose some of it's benefit by decafing it...as that is an extreme process! They are finding lots of benefits to caffeine! One of the sites that I think that you could go to to find a definitive answer is www.springboard4health.com, as they deal with most natural foods, questions, etc. With all the benefits, they are finding with caffeine, I think I will stick with my "full punch" beverages! Cheers!
