It is believed that green tea has herbal values. I drink green tea almost every day, in the afternoons. Very refreshing. I keep a collection of green tea from China, Japan, Sri Lanka, and of different tastes and flavors. Jasmine tea is one of my favorites.

Hi, This is indeed a good habit of drinking green tea. Today, scientific research in both Asia and the west is providing hard evidence for the health benefits long associated with drinking green tea. For example, in 1994 the Journal of the National Cancer Institute published the results of an epidemiological study indicating that drinking green tea reduced the risk of esophageal cancer in Chinese men and women by nearly sixty percent. University of Purdue researchers recently concluded that a compound in green tea inhibits the growth of cancer cells. There is also research indicating that drinking green tea lowers total cholesterol levels, as well as improving the ratio of good (HDL) cholesterol to bad (LDL) cholesterol. To sum up, here are just a few medical conditions in which drinking green tea is reputed to be helpful.

Well you could make some iced, green tea in the summer! That would work and would be a cool drink to help you hydrate in the heat, I suppose. I am not big on the green tea taste, although I used to like it. But everyone knows that it has tons of antioxidants and some even say it aids in weight loss... I've never really noticed a difference, but who knows!

Green tea can be taken at any time irrespective of the season and as it is rich in antioxidants it is good for health.

Green tea is refreshing and it has a lot of antioxidants. We can drink it in the summer since it is refreshing. I drink green tea all the time since it really is good for the health. Tea is really good and is much better than coffee. It can perk and it can also relax us.
