I love eating green tea leaves: the smell and the taste are 1000 times stronger! It has become a real habit and it is very enjoyable. It has a lot of health benefits. The in-take of flavanoids, the anti-oxidants, in the green tea leaves is multiplied by a factor of more than 10 000 percent, meaning that all anti-oxidants are directly taken: https://www.eatgreentea.com/why-green-tea/

EGCG is the most important compound in green tea leaves: EGCG benefits link

Example:

Quercetin: 9400 % Increase
Epicatechin: 9447 % Increase
Epicatechin 3-gallate: 8524 % Increase
Epigallocatechin: 10043 % Increase
Epigallocatechin 3-gallate: 10560 % Increase

Polyphenols found in green tea include epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), epicatechin gallate, epicatechins and flavanols, which have antioxidant, anticarcinogen, anti-inflammatory, and anti-radiation biochemical effects in vitro. Other components include three kinds of flavonoids, known as kaempferol, quercetin, and myricetin.
