Dietary EGCG and Choline

A. I bought green tea bags, and have been ripping them open and drinking the leaves with my 5-htp.
1. Does anybody -know- if bags are lower in EGCG than loose leaves? I couldn't find loose leaves in my super market.
2. Is it fair to say it's safe to eat the leaves from a bag directly like that?
B. How many eggs could I eat until I can afford to order a choline source? I do love eggs.
Does cooking the eggs reduce the choline content?
None of my searching online would provide any direct answers to the questions. Just generic responses from 'fad' websites about "get enough EGCG from green tea!"

I'v had a few hours of looking in to it now but i'm having trouble finding sources that explain it in 'nicer' terms that I can understand. I don't know much of the neuroscience functionality and only basic terms like receptor names.
Do you have any recommendation on where I can read "Explain it like i'm 10", or do you have knowledge of this yourself to recommend which of the racetams might be "worth" it.
I'll be honest, my main concern is effectiveness for cost. I don't want to get second best when I could try to find a down low way of getting piracetam.
