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 :)

Well this enlightened me to something I didn't consider in my other thread. an extraction method!
I think i'll still stick with buying a GT extract though. Guaranteed potency of EGCG from my favorite supplier.

Yeah, an extraction would be fun. However, for consistency and ease of use, I'd just buy an extract.
