If you mean why did ordinary people start drinking it, probably because it tastes good, perks you up, has health benefits, and higher class people were drinking it.
No, green tea is not mentioned on any website to work as a diet pill. Green tea will not suppress your appetite.
There is only one way to properly use green tea. It's used the same way as any other tea. Put it into a tea pot and boil. Pour it into a cup and add sugar, lemon, etc.

It represents calmness and tranquility. The Japanese drink almost exclusively green tea; Japan produces and consumes only small amounts of other types of tea (black tea, white tea, oolong, and Pu-erh). The tea used in the Japanese tea ceremony is not just any type of tea, it is matcha, a special type of powdered green tea.

80 calories/cup when you drink green tea. The first cup from the tea bag will have caffeine in it, but if you dump that cup, and still use the tea bag another time it will be de-caffeinated. Caffeine does not help burn any calories though.
Green tea is a plants natural nitrogen as well as a medicine. Plants can be watered with green tea, but the mixture of the water and tea has to be right if not the plants will suffer from nitrogen burn and can cause a severe root rot. Based on my experience, I recommand to brew one tea in a gallon of water and use it for the plants. Use the water and fertilizer at the first watering and use the tea with the water on the second watering. Its best to pour atleast one cup of tea from the gallon mixture of the water and tea in to the plants food and water mixture, the plants will love that. Its a winning choice.
You 'brew' green tea in the same way as for any other tea. Steep the loose or bagged tea in boiling water and leave to stand for at least five minutes. When using loose tea, use a tea strainer (sieve) to prevent small tea bits from entering the teacups. After a good stir, pour into teacups: add sugar and milk to taste. Purists would add neither sugar or milk and drink the green tea as it is.

The Olay site says it's being "repackaged". I currently use the Quench Active Hydration Green Tea. Nowhere on the "repackaged" product do I see any reference to the Green Tea formula.
I am pretty sure it depends on the tea. I'm not entirely sure, but it depends on the types like green or black. Also, the amount that you use. generally one bag of green tea has about 30mg caffeine
