The first bit is right

The second bit is vastly exaggerated, indeed there is no quatifiable figure

It's better known for antioxidant properties and fighting cancer and stuff but it does something to your metabolism too..

I think if you drink it around a meal, it makes you digest slower, this means you burn more calories whilst digesting. And it increases your BMR but the amount isn't known as it probably varies a lot depending on weight, genes etc. And for you to have any of these effects you have to have 4+ cups a day.
