Will re-heating green tea reduce its health benefits?

by fire_snake » May 11th, '15, 11:08

Good day, everyone. :)

I make green tea for a family member. Once done, I store it in a large glass bottle with a tight seal. The tea is consumed same day.

They drink this tea mainly for the health benefits (which they do enjoy.)

However, they sometimes like to re-heat the tea in the microwave.

Will this compromise the catechin/polyphenol/EGCG content in any substantial way?

Thank you.

Christian.
