Hi Greg, Anticancer also has the following guidance that I did not know until I read the book that you had suggested. I also read somewhere that drinking OJ with the green tea increases how it is absorbed in the body. I couldn't find the reference, I ain't got no time for that now.

From anticancer APPENDIX TO CHAPTER 8
Japanese green tea (sencha, gyokuro, matcha, etc.) is even richer in EGCG than common varieties of Chinese green tea.
Green tea must be steeped for at least five to eight minutes—ideally ten minutes—to release its catechins.
Recommendations for use: Steep 2 grams (0.07 ounce) of green tea for ten minutes in a teapot and drink within an hour. Drink two to three cups a day. Do not store green tea after steeping, as it loses its beneficial polyphenols after an hour or two.
