ABSTRACT:
A beverage containing a flavorant and green tea solids or flavanols is disclosed. The beverage can contain sweeteners. Caffeine can also be present in the beverage in ratio of caffeine to flavanols of from about 1:1 to about 1:30. The beverage can be carbonated or non-carbonated, i.e. a still beverage such as fruit juice or coffee. The preferred green tea solids are catechin and epicatechin and their derivatives. When caffeine is present, this beverage retains the alertness benefit of caffeine along with the relaxing effects attributed to the green tea solids.
