Yes, it does. If you're worried about caffeine, relax. Green tea has half the caffeine of a can of Coke (30-60 mg per serving).
And if you drink green tea you will relax without even trying. Unlike the caffeine in soda and coffee, the caffeine in green tea does not raise your blood pressure. It even has a calming effect.

Caffeine often gets a bad rap. Studies show that our bodies advantage from a moderate intake of caffeine each day. If you're avoiding caffeine for health reasons you're assuredly depriving your body of health benefits.
The best way to get caffeine is in green tea. Don't add sugar to the green tea because that will dilute the health benefits of the caffeine.
There are benefits to green tea apart from the caffeine, of course. For example, Purdue University conducted a study that showed that green tea has a mixture that helps fight cancer cells. Also, if you have rheumatoid arthritis, auto-immune difficulties, high cholesterol, frequent infections and heart disease, green tea has been proven to be effective. It also destroys the bacteria that causes tooth decay. These are just a few of the benefits of green tea. It can even help you lose weight! But I'll save those wondrous details for an additional one article.
You're probably wondering: Why green tea instead of other types of tea?
Green tea leaves are steamed whereas black and oolong tea leaves are fermented and the compounds in them are not nearly as effective as a result.
If you've avoided green tea because you don't like the taste let me assure you that there is a huge variety of green tea available. Some are blended with spices, some have an edgier taste, some are practically sweet.
