Based on this paper [1] green tea can have up to about 130 mg per gram EGCG. In that case 6.5 grams of tea. Tea bags usually have about a gram and a half, but the extracion is less. In studies like this the tea is usually brewed for 5 minutes and in this study brewed 1g to 100ml.
My take is that it is not an unreasonable amount.
