Abstract
The term green tea refers to the product manufactured from fresh leaf of the tea plant, Camellia sinensis (3). Green tea is an excellent source of water-soluble polyphenol antioxidants. In particular, green tea leaves are very rich in flavonoids, which are a group of polyphenols present in vegetables, fruits and beverages such as tea and wine (4). During manufacturing of green tea, the oxidation of polyphenolic components is precluded (1).
