Ya know, EGCG? That stuff that's in green tea? Well enviga is LOADED with it, which is what does the job.
By drinking three cans of enviga a day, you can burn between 60 and 100 calories.
"Invigorate your metabolism..."
It also comes in Berry and Peach, both of which are still green tea, just added flavor.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Type Canned sparkling green tea
Manufacturer The Coca-Cola Company
Country of Origin USA
Introduced 2006
Enviga is a Nestea carbonated canned green-tea drink being jointly marketed by the Coca-Cola Company and Nestle Switzerland. It is availiable in 3 flavors: Green tea, peach and berry. [1]. According to Coca-Cola, Enviga burns 60 to 100 calories per three 12-oz.(330 ml) cans due to its high EGCG and caffeine content. More details on Enviga's own study here: http://www.enviga.com/#Science . Along with this, Enviga also contains 20% of the daily value of calcium.[2]
As reported in the Sydney Morning Herald, flavoured bottled water, sports drinks and teas, are increasing sales with the decline in sales of sugary soft drinks - with cold tea the fastest growing non-carbonated beverage category in the U.S. during the first half of 2006. Prior to launch, Coke had been trailing and losing market share[1] in this sector to Pepsi, AriZona and Snapple.

Lawsuits over health claims
The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) has filed a lawsuit over company claims that Enviga acts as a calorie-burning and weight-loss product[2]. The group claims that if Coca-Cola and Nestle stop marketing the product as a calorie-burner, they would drop possible litigation. The beverage makers responded that they have deliberately avoided claims that Enviga is a weight-loss product, and that there exists independent research to substantiate the effects of the product.
The State of Connecticut is investigating the calorie-burning qualities of the drink. The State Attorney General Richard Blumenthal has demanded [3] all scientific research associated with its calorie-burning qualities [4].
