EGCG, or epigallocatechin gallate, is a unique set of polyphenols that help to scavenge free radicals from the body. Matcha also contains its sister polyphenols EGC (epigallo catechins), ECG (epicatechin gallate), EC (epicatechins), which when working in synergy with each other as found in nature, seem to have a significantly stronger antioxidant effect than EGCG alone.

Absorption is important. When tea bags or loose teas are steeped, only 5% to 10% of the nutrients naturally found in tea end up in the cup because most of the nutrients are not water-soluble. The minerals, fibers, vitamins, and antioxidants end up thrown out with the tea leaves. Matcha tea is the best by far because the whole tea leaf is ground into a fine powder and consumed entirely. So you get 100% of the nutrients from the leaves.
