Tea produces so many freaking bioactive chemicals that actively mess with your whole entire system, and human beings have figured out how to make it do so, so many things because of that.
There's caffeine. There's L-theanine. There's catechins. There's GABA. That's just to start.

🍵 Green tea won’t detox your liver. But it might quietly defend it.
That’s not hype—it’s catechins nudging fat and inflammation down.
Small rituals matter more than we think.

I pity the fool....who steeps their tea in too hot of water for too long of a time, drawing out too many catechins and tannins, thus making the resulting tea bitter.

the flavonoids called catechins like the molecule illustrated on the right. The stimulating effect of green tea is of course related to caffeine (the molecule in the middle) but, unlike say coffee, green tea also has an amino acid in tea called L-Theanine (the molecule on within the tea pot handle).

Do you like matcha?
Here are some scientifically proven benefits of drinking matcha:
🍵Rich in Antioxidants (EGCG)
It is exceptionally high in catechins, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a potent antioxidant known for its anti-inflammatory and cell-protective properties.

Morning tea is the best tea🍵🫖
Tea contains polyphenols, particularly catechins and epicatechins, which act as powerful antioxidants.
These compounds help protect your cells from damage caused by free radicals, potentially reducing the risk of aging and disease.
