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 :)

Thank you for that. But I think 2l of liquid is what one should drink anyway, and sweet green tea ( it is said to taste sweeter when cold brewed) is superior to water.

Sure, go for it. I might try a cold brew myself out of curiosity.
