How much should you drink? Some say as little as two cups per day while others say five. I drink two cups of Tazo Zen Green Tea a day; one hot cup in the morning and a cold glass early in the afternoon. If you want the benefits, but don't don't like the taste, consider taking a green tea supplement instead.
