Can the theanin and caffeine in green tea even be extracted from the leaves by our digestive system?

I was wondering because it is often recommended in this subreddit that instead of drinking green tea, one should just eat the leaves to make sure to lose no nutrients, since you ingested all. Now I read somewhere that this does for example not work with marihuana, which needs to be smoked or solved in alkohol or fat.
So can anyone give me a hint? I just bought 2,5 kg green tea and want to use it the right way :)

Why should it be a joke? Anyway, thank you for your answer. I am trying cold brewing right now.

I've never heard of someone buying 2.5kg of green tea leaves so they can eat them. Sometimes people make dry jokes. I commented on another post about eating green tea leaves earlier, so it was not too much of a stretch to think someone was trolling after seeing that post.
Why are you cold brewing it?
