    This what my friend Google tells me:

    "The secret of green tea lies in the fact it is rich in catechin polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG is a powerful anti-oxidant: besides inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, it kills cancer cells without harming healthy tissue. It has also been effective in lowering LDL cholesterol levels, and inhibiting the abnormal formation of blood clots..."

    so know you know.

    My partner is Vietnamese and she says to put 2 to 4 grams of tea in a pot, fill a kettle with cold water and boil - let it stand for 3 minutes (urrrrgh - terribly unBritish) - pour onto the leaves and set it stand for 3 minutes. Then let it cool for a couple of minutes ,drink and savour the aroma.
