Green tea is supposed to be really good for you. Does it matter if its regular or decaf?

It depends on the process they use to remove the caffeine. The ingredient in tea that is good for you are called "polyphenols." If the company used ethyl acetate to remove the caffeine, then most of the polyphenols will be gone and the tea will no longer have health benefits. If the company used carbon dioxide (the process is commonly called "effervescence"), then most of the polyphenols will remain.
The label may be helpful enough to tell you which process they used. If not, it may tell you the polyphenol count, which should be 80 to 100 milligrams for one cup of tea.
If the label doesn't give you any of this information, you will have to call the company to find out.

Green tea its really good for you, ( I don't think it make something to grow…lol.)but its very good antioxidant, and thermogenic, thats why I will still go with the regular one.
For some reason I think the decaf process, its not very good for us.I prefer things natural. I drink at least 2-3 a day, and I mix it with my favor tea, (peach, passion, black cherry).

Doesn't matter, both are very good for you.
I also got some green tea gum at Target. It tastes like mint though- without a sugary taste. I love it!
