It does in fact have certain antibacterial properties, for a time...not sure when it runs out though...should be eneugh time for the mycelium to take hold, just make sure it is damp but not soaked and You should be allright. I would be curious to try this out myself...keep us posted.

Cheers

Green tea contains catechin (tannin), flavonols, caffeine, vitamins, minerals and chlorophyll. Regular tea drinking offers an opportunity to relieve stress and stimulate the nerves as well as to appreciate unique flavors. Recently, green tea has been discovered to have anti-cancer properties.

Black tea is merely green tea ehere the semi dried green shoots are ruptured by rolling achieved from a rotary movement. The rolling process ruptures and twists the leaves. When tea leaves are crushed an oxidation process begins, which is followed by firing and commonly known black tea is produced.

Just thought I would clear this up...but green tea is considered by most to be healthier than black as the oxidization increases the caffeine content and some of the beneficial compounds are lost. That is not to say however that black tea in moderate quantities are bad for you...black tea also has it's benefits.

The better choice for using as a growing substrate would probably be green tea, which has not been oxidized, and will contain more vitamins, and be closer to a natural straw substrate.

Sorry for this long essay, just thought I would clear some things up. I do think this would make a potentialy great substrate.

Good luck, I think when I get my grass loving strains in I will try this as well. Keep us posted as to your progress.

Cheers

Buy the loose leaves, they are the cheapest. Make the tea with a tea ball or bag, save the waste in the freezer, until you have eneugh for a jar then go nuts. It shouldn't take that long to get eneugh substrate...cheers.
