Green Tea and EGCG Basics

What EGCG is, how green tea fits a daily routine, and a simple brewing guide.

Green tea is one of the plants behind the extract in LipoJelly, and it is also a pleasant daily ritual in its own right.

What EGCG Is

EGCG is the catechin behind most green tea research. LipoJelly uses a green tea extract standardised for it.

Use Water That Is Not Boiling

Very hot water makes green tea bitter. Let the kettle sit for a minute, or aim for about 80 degrees Celsius.
