Green Tea: Nature’s Energy Boost
Green tea offers a milder caffeine lift plus catechin antioxidants—a ritual, not a fat-loss miracle.
Green tea sits between coffee culture and wellness marketing. You get caffeine for alertness and catechins as part of the leaf’s antioxidant story. We removed invented “3–4% calorie burn” claims.

The Quick Answer
Drink green tea for flavor + modest caffeine. Count it toward your stimulant budget. It will not out-train a bad sleep schedule.
Caffeine + Catechins
Catechins (including EGCG in many discussions) are the antioxidant compounds people cite. Practical athlete use: a calm pre-session or afternoon cup without the coffee jitters—if your stomach and sleep agree.
