Decafienated GREEN TEA

Hi,
I heard that there are two ways to decafienate green tea, and that one way removes 70% of the antioxidants. Does anyone know if the loose decafienated green tea at wegman's is decafienated in the way that retains 95% of the antioxidants.

Also is there a website I can buy decafientated green tea from? Also what are the two types of decafination called, and I want decafienated green tea that sells it with 95% if its antioxidants.

I heard green tea improves your endurance up to 24% if you consume 4-6 cups throughout the day. So that is why I am asking about green tea...

Thanks again

I am assuming this is referring to caffinated green tea.

Yes, but not limited to caffinated green tea. As long as the antioxidents are entacted in the tea leaves, then you will get the endurance benefit. <HR>


Do you have a link to the article? I believe a lot of the benefits, like metabolism and endurance are linked a lot to the caffienne as well.

Re: Decafienated GREEN TEA
I will look at the article later this afternoon. Caffienne is used in all the ultras i have been to. Mostly in the form of Coke or Mountain Dew.

I drink caffienated green tea up until 2pm, then switch to decaf if i want more tea or herbal tea. But because i like it. Have never seen a change in metabolism or endurance.
