[QUOTE="BigStevie1973, post: 383420, member: 68134"] When I was diagnosed, I decided to try green tea and found that I really liked it. As someone who used to take 3-4 teaspoons of coffee per cup and 2-3 cups of coffee a day, I thought it was going to be really difficult to transition from coffee to green tea but in fact it wasn't too difficult at all. That said, I mistakenly believed that green tea had no caffeine in it but have now discovered that it does in fact have some although not as much as black tea or coffee. If you are concerned about the caffeine content, you can reduce it by either buying a decaf version or simply pre-dunking the bag for 30-45 seconds. What I tend to do is make a cup as normal in the morning to get the wee boost I need to help kick-start the day and then save the bag for another cup later on. I was very surprised to discover that the second cup tasted, if anything, slightly better than the first one: two for one - bonus!! :lol: [/QUOTE]
