catechins
Green tea compounds
Catechins are a class of antioxidant compounds found naturally in tea, cocoa, berries, and other plant foods.
Green tea is particularly rich in catechins, which are credited with many of its purported health benefits.
The compounds belong to a larger family called flavonoids and give certain foods an astringent, slightly bitter taste.
