Green tea is healthy — so more must be better, right? Not exactly. Like most good things, the benefit is in the right amount. Here's the honest answer on how much green tea to drink per day.
The sweet spot
For most healthy adults, 2 to 3 cups a day is a comfortable, beneficial amount. This gives you antioxidants and steady energy without overdoing the caffeine.
The best timing
- Morning: a great natural pick-me-up.
- Early afternoon: beats the post-lunch slump.
- Avoid late evening: the caffeine can disrupt sleep.
- Go easy on an empty stomach if you're sensitive.
Who should cut back
If you're very sensitive to caffeine, pregnant, or take certain medications, keep it modest and check with your doctor. More isn't better — balance is.
Get the most from every cup
Brew with water just off the boil (not fully boiling), steep briefly, and skip the sugar. Starting with quality leaf makes a big difference — our Día Activo blends green tea with ginger and lemongrass for flavor and clean energy.
