I'm finishing up a tub of Champion Nutrition, which is Banana Cream (it was on sale last month for a 5lb tub for $31). Couldn't pass it up. It does have good flavor and would recommend it as a brand to try.

From the limited research I've done in EGCG (OP wrote ESG but it's EGCG), it looks like it is a polyphenol with very powerful antioxidant properties. Benefits include lowering bad cholesterol, inhibiting cancer cell growth, a positive effect on abnormal blood clotting, and possibly even the ability to kill cancer cells. It looks like it also may help burn fat as well. EGCG is more for general health rather than performance gains.
EGCG and other beneficial polyphenols are in green tea so you may just consider drinking green tea instead of supplementing solely with EGCG.
Just a suggestion, try Jay Robb's Whey Protein. It is very good tasting when mixed with milk, and it does not have fillers, refined carbohydrates, and fake sugars like MANY of the other why protein products on the market. It is more expensive, but in this case you get what you pay for.
