No. The oxidation in the fermentation process on other tea removes most of the catechins.
Green tea has about five times as much EGCG as regular tea, studies have shown |

| I think the regular tea is still great for you but not AS good as the green one :)...it's a good alternative to coffee too as it contains lots of caffeine :) |

They actually are pretty good, and deliver a reasonable kick. |

Coffee and normal tea also contains a certain amount of the cancer fighting polyphenols, but not as much as green tea.
I personally find Jasmine green tea the most flavorful out of all the green teas. |

i drink about 3-4 cups of tea a day |
