I have been reading a lot about the good facts of green tea. What I am wondering is, is green tea against the word of wisdom? We use some herbal teas when we're sick but I don't know if green goes in the ok column or the bad column.

Good question.
 I have not heard for sure but I don't think it falls into the category of a herbal tea though.

Green Tea is considered a weight loss drink due to the caffeine in it to accelerate your metabolism. Green tea is the tea most chinese restaurants serve.

Green tea is the same type of leaf (plant) as black tea (regular -- ?) and has the same substances in it; only it has been processed a lot less, ergo it is the same type of tea we are not to drink. I think that it can be said that the caffiene content is not the be- all and end- all of a Word of Wisdom question. We may not really know exactly what the Lord had in mind in giving the health directives. Personally, I would never drink green tea as I feel that it is against the Word of Wisdom. Marijuana has health benefits, as well. Shall we have that conversation, lol?

Stick with Celestial Seasonings herbal tea and you can't go wrong.

Grow your own mint plants, then brew up a pot of fresh herbal infusion. Nothing is better than fresh mint leaves brewed for 3 minutes in a pot of boiling hot water. Chop up some leaves and toss in with your next garden greens salad! Mince them up and top off your vanilla icecream with chocolate syrup!

I've often wondered about this myself as green tea is known to have many health benefits including great anti oxidant properties. Its got me thinking about the word of wisdom, and I have posted a new topic on the subject. I hope it is allowed though as I've drunk it before

Hahaha, just kidding again. I'm feeling giddy tonight, pardon the excessive amounts of sarcasm and elbow-nudging.

When we were living in Japan, we were served tea a lot. There were some kinds that were OK and others that were not. Since neither my husband nor I were interested in drinking it anyway, we didn't pay much attention, but I know the missionaries in the area could drink certain of the teas served in Japanese homes - kinda awkward when you're in someone's home and they serve you a drink you can't have, I imagine.
