This was just a random thought I had while making some tea. Can you obtain the benefits (antioxidants, etc.) from tea by just ingesting the contents of the bag?
your stomach would probably extract the antioxidants and ECGC from the tea leaves, but your body will not be able to digest leaves, since any plant contains cellulose which is indigestible by the human body.
IF YOU CAN STAND THE TASTE IT COULD BE BITTER
