How did Green Tea Become so popular?

I think that in the last few years there has been a surge of interest in healthier foods and drinks.

People have realised that maybe we should all treat our bodies a little better (although realising it and doing it are two completely different things!)

I think because people are becoming more aware of these products, companies know that they can make some money on them and are making them more readily available (for a price!)

As for green tea specifically, I know in the UK there was a lot of celebrity hype about it being associated to weight loss so lots of people who read the tabloids etc may have heard about it there and wanted to try it out.

Even though you may seen it a lot, it probably still doesn't compare to how the Cokes, Diet Cokes, Pepsis, and Red Bulls sell. It's great that green tea has finally made some headway into the American market. You will soon see white tea bottles laying around since this may be what your green tea was like a few years ago.

OK, this is just my opinion. I'd say the green & white are overtaking the others. I'm not in the UK, but I love tea, too!

People drink it because it's tasty and very healthy and good for you. I guess people just realized.

I really can't believe that your friends don't know what tea is, I mean I love herbal tea. It's really healthy.

Because nobody likes the color doo doo brown associated with their tea.Sorry lipton!!

by adding sugar to it

because its healthier and tastier..!
