I drink it frequently, more some weeks than others. I really haven't found it makes any difference. Of course, I eat a diet with lots of leafy greens anyway, and dose accordingly.

If you start drinking it, make a note on your spreadsheet or chart of your INR (I ASSUME you keep one, most of us do), and see if it makes a change for you.

To my understanding, you would have to drink gallons of green tea to see a change in ones INR

Ditto. Most things are fine in moderation, but if you want to really get into the tea, then test your INR more often until sure.

I've always just ate and drank what I wanted without thinking twice about it and have my INR corrected accordingly. I'm usually between 2.3/4-3.3; that's about what I range, I'm suppose to be 2.5-3.5, I've been lucky and been around 2.8-2.9 the last month. I'll bump myself and in the 7-8 months I've had maybe 2 - 3 bruises. I'm sure it'll get worse as I get older as I'm only 26.
