Green tea cannot age you or turn back time. It doesn't change your age, although it can make you healthier. Which in most cases people would consider younger people healthy. So in a a sence it makes you younger but not actually younger.

Green tea has not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or purity. All potential risks and/or advantages of green tea may not be known. Additionally, there are no regulated manufacturing standards in place for these compounds. There have been instances where herbal/health supplements have been sold which were contaminated with toxic metals or other drugs. Herbal/health supplements should be purchased from a reliable source to minimize the risk of contamination.
Claims:
Green tea has a lot of different advantages, most of which are health-related. Researchers have found that consumption of green tea can help in the prevention of certain diseases and ailments, as well as benefit the body’s overall well-being. One of the reason for green tea being beneficial is due to the fact that it is rich in healthy antioxidants such as flavonoids, which is a compound found in plants, and catechin polyphenols. Catechins, which are 25 to 100 times more potent than vitamins C and E, are very beneficial for the heart and circulatory health, as well as the body’s natural resistance to certain diseases, such as cancer of the bladder, breast, colon, esophagus, lung, pancreas, prostate, skin and stomach.
As described earlier, green tea can help reduce the risk of heart diseases since the antioxidants in it helps stop the oxidation process of LDL (bad) cholesterol, and at the same time increase the HDL (good) cholesterol in the body, as well as enhance the function of the artery. This is probably the reason why most green tea drinkers have a lesser chance of death following a heart attack as compared to those who doesn’t.
Other benefits of drinking green tea is that it helps lower blood pressure, even for those who have a high intake of sodium, which is a risk factor for high blood pressure. It also helps lower the risk of developing cancers, such as stomach and esophageal cancer. It also reduce the risk of arthritis by decreasing the movement of blood cell that causes the inflammation when exposed to green tea antioxidants. Drinking green tea also helps trigger the immune system to ward off the chemicals in cigarette smoke and effects of alcohol. Weight management can also benefit from drinking green tea, as well as the prevention of tooth decay.

Green tea leaves one at the age one was upon drinking it, perhaps, given the time to drink, a few minutes older.

green tea is not a time machine. just a drink that's relatively good for you.

Neither. The number of trips you ride around the sun make you older.
