This Youtube video claims that green tea "is the best mouthwash", citing various medical studies that claim that green tea is more effective in reducing dental bacteria than various standard chemicals. Quick googling has found me this study of University of British Columbia researchers, which (at least to me as a complete medical noob) seems to support this claim.

Is the advice to wash one's mouth with green tea medically plausible?

Sidenote: I found this earlier questionearlier question, but it seems only loosely related.
