Moreover, Green Tea Shot provides a quick energy boost thanks to the caffeine content of green tea. While caffeine levels may not be as high as a cup of coffee, it’s enough to keep you mildly awake without the jitters or bumps often associated with other caffeinated beverages. So, if you are in need of an energy drink to get through a busy day or to start a fun night, Green Tea Shot is a perfect choice. The combination of green tea and other ingredients not only provides a refreshing taste, but also provides a subtle energy that keeps you going.
