In the brain, COMT is more of a back-up to MAO-A. It destroys any norepinephrine that escapes the synapse. I don't know if there is enough catechin in green tea to affect cerebral NE levels. There are green tea concentrates. Maybe one of those might work? You'd also be getting a lot of other stuff, too. Not just catechins.
