I am learning about it too and have already decided, no more regualr tea and no more coffee.
Green tea has no caffeine as far as know.
If I want some caffeine, I eat chocolate which is also a good thing, also full of antioxidants (the dark one) and proved to help the brain think you are happy, which in turn makes everything easier to be reasoned.
Whenever I want to drink something hot, it's green tea.
What I've read is that green tea has a lot more antioxidants than others, but to get get the best benefit you need at least four cups a day, no sugar.
Just boil the water on microwave (just to the point it boils, no more), and then drop the tea sac on the cup, leave it for up to a minute, no more.
With 4 or more cups a day, there are reserchers who have tested for reduced cancer cells.
Making this a habit for years, will eventually keep you from getting cancer, or at least keep your system much younger than it would without it.

Green Tea Extract is actually a product that's been developing in popularity to get a couple decades now. Standard of historic herbs in the Chinese tradition, Green Tea Extract is loaded with healthy nutrients like antioxidants that help with fat loss, will give you energy, and struggle quite a few conditions.

I just bought a bunch of green tea yesterday! It is LOADED with anti-oxidants, is extremely useful in fighting the Human T-cell leukemia virus infection ("HTLV") and may also be useful in fighting the HIV infection. The main thing is the anti-oxidants - it helps to prevent the onset of cancer.

It has antioxidants. I've heard it flushes you out.
You brew it the way your brew a normal cup of tea. I've never heard anything to the contrary.

same benefit to both, and you would have to drink 10+ cups a day to get any benefit. most of this is a marketing scam.
