How did Green Tea Become so popular?
I started drinking Arizona Green tea a few years ago, and my friends were like what is that? I said it's like healthy red-bull....now in my second year of college I see a ton of people drinking it, I see bottles of Lipton and Snapple green tea lying around....what changed? Why is everybody drinking it now? Am I the only one that noticed this?
Answers:
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.
