Green Tea is known mainly to come from China and Japon. But also from Ceylon, Darjeeling Vietnam and Assam
Health benefits:
Proponents of green tea note that its medicinal benefits have been described for over 1000 years. The Kissa Yojoki, or Book of Tea, written by Zen priest Eisai in 1191, describes how drinking green tea can have a positive effect on the five vital organs, especially the heart. The book discusses tea's medicinal qualities which include easing the effects of alcohol, acting as a stimulant, curing blotchiness, quenching thirst, eliminating indigestion, curing beriberi disease, preventing fatigue, and improving urinary and brain function. Part One also explains the shapes of tea plants, tea flowers and tea leaves and covers how to grow tea plants and process tea leaves. In Part Two, the book discusses the specific dosage and method required for individual physical ailments
In more recent times, many studies have investigated a link between the consumption of green tea and a lower incidence of a range of cancers in populations, with mixed results. Green tea enthusiasts have claimed it to be useful for:
Cognition
Stopping certain neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimers
Preventing/treating cancer
Treating arthritis
Treating multiple sclerosis
Preventing the degradation of cell membranes by neutralizing the spread of free radicals (which occurs during the process of oxidation).
Increases fat oxidation (helps the body use fat as an energy source) and raises metabolism.
Lowering LDL cholesterol (in high doses in lab tests)
Preventing lowered T-Cells due to HIV - In lab tests, EGCG, found in green tea, was found to prevent HIV from attacking T-Cells. However, it is not known if this has any effect on humans yet.
So Green Tea is definitely good, not only for boosting the energy (by it's fat oxydation action) but for a lot of other conditions.
That's my Best Answer!

It has caffeine so sure it will provide you with vigour. The extra tea luggage the extra caffeine you'll devour. To be sincere although I under no circumstances do more than 1 bag per cup. If I make a massive batch i'm going to use 2 or 3. It's not relevant what sort you get. Green tea is inexperienced tea.
