Green tea making me more alert?!
Answers:
Green Tea has some health benefits. Green tea extract may contain caffeine, which is most likely increasing your alertness level, especially if you are not used to consuming caffeine on a regular basis.
Over the last few decades green tea has been subjected to many scientific and medical studies to determine the extent of its long-purported health benefits, with some evidence suggesting that regular green tea drinkers have lower chances of heart disease[3] and developing certain types of cancer.[4] Although green tea does not raise the metabolic rate enough to produce immediate weight loss, a green tea extract containing polyphenols and caffeine has been shown to induce thermogenesis and stimulate fat oxidation, boosting the metabolic rate 4% without increasing the heart rate.[5]

There is some caffeine but not nearly as much as in black tea or even coffee... It's very likely it's a combination of the Green Tea and the Sugar that is doing that to you.
yes and the sugar might be a part of it too
