An infusion of green tea alongside a Victorian illustration of the tea plant Camellia sinensis. Green tea is the least processed of the varieties of teas,consequently it retains the highest concentration of the antioxidant polyphenols,particularly EGCG (epigallocatechin-3 gallate),a catechin which protects against age-related degenerative diseases.
