Its leaf buds are used to produce a popular tea beverage and extract. The Camellia sinensis extract is rich in bioactive compounds that are responsible for its aroma, taste, flavor, astringency, and medicinal tea value. Catechins are primarily active compounds found in Camellia sinensis plants credited to cancer fighting properties. Green tea catechins are widely described as efficient in the prevention of lung cancer, prostate cancer, liver cancer, and esophageal cancer.  The most popular green tea is Sencha, often made in Japan. The Bancha Matcha and Gyokuro species are made from Sencha tea. Bancha infusions compared to Sencha infusions contain less caffeine as well as L-theanine amino acid forming proteins responsible for the production of neurotransmitters insulin, and adrenaline says PubMed Central. Scientific studies indicate L-theanine modifies the effects of caffeine reducing the stimulation positively affecting brain work improving cognitive functions, mood, and concentration, and decreasing blood pressure.

Catechins are classified as flavonoids which are one of the most common types of polyphenols compounds with strong antioxidant properties that have an array of health benefits for the body.
