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.
Incorrect about Korea. It is against WoW there also.

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:

http://scriptures.lds.org/en/dc/89

I can't see it.

The WOW makes a lot more sense when you stop expecting it to be objectively tied to real health benefits or detriments. It is nothing more or less than a way to show devotion to God. Just like the Jews would have been just fine eating pork and shellfish, you would be okay physically if you drank tea. Or maybe you would suffer some marginal loss of health, but I don't think that is really what it is all about. At least not any more.
