Is green tea against the WOW in all countries?

[MikeWaters]

I was asked if it was against the WoW yesterday by a member.

I know it is against the WoW in Japan. I heard from a friend who went on a mission to S. Korea, that it is not against the WoW there.

Depends where you are in Japan. My buddy in Tokyo says that the members there don't make a big deal out of it.

That's one of those odd artifacts of how we apply the WoW. By all accounts, green tea is extremely healthy.

I have quit caffeine, so I wouldn't drink it. Whatever healthy stuff is in it, to me, doesn't outweigh the caffeine.

Not to worry, Mike. Green tea only has 15 mg per 8 oz. Compared to ~100 mg for coffee and 50-60 mg for common tea.

By the way, this chart shows that green tea has about the same caffeine content as hot chocolate. Why on earth would green tea by against the WoW but hot chocolate be OK?

easy. hot chocolate is not tea, and the WoW says nothing about caffeine.

Perhaps you can point out the verse that mentions tea:

I can't see it.

You've got me all wrong, Mike. I don't drink or smoke. Nor do I indulge in hot drinks. I eat my fair share of wheat, and I eat very little barley or rye. But I must admit that I love oatmeal raisin cookies (sorry YOhio) and corn on the cob. And I eat meat in the summer.
