When I received the following comment, "Does green tea have it's own molecule?" I knew that I was curious and did some research. It turns out, the reader was right! You're right! Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is an antioxidant in green tea that may have therapeutic uses. This compound is a potent antioxidant found only in green tea, not black tea. I will add it to my list of molecule charts to create.
