Well, yes, green tea gives you energy, but that's because it has
lots of caffiene in it.
I would not substitute water for tea during a workout, as your body craves water to rehydrate it during a workout. You can supplement your water intake with tea... At any other time, tea can be a substitute for a glass of water here and there.... Experts are now saying that any liquid is better than no liquid, and that there is such a thing as too much water.
