Green Tea

Green tea is usually roasted or steamed after harvest, to avoid oxidation. China, Vietnam and Japan are the main producers of green tea.

Green tea is a type of tea that is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. It is the least processed of the four main types of tea (green, black, oolong, white) and is known for its fresh, delicate flavor and green color.

The processing of green tea involves quickly steaming or pan-frying the freshly harvested leaves to stop the oxidation process, which preserves the tea's natural color, flavor, and nutrients.

Green tea is a popular beverage in many countries and is known for its health benefits. It is high in antioxidants, particularly a type called catechins, which can help to protect the body from damage from free radicals. Green tea has also been shown to have potential benefits for heart health, weight loss, and reducing the risk of certain types of cancer.

Tea Ceremony

Green tea is typically brewed for a short time and can be enjoyed plain or with added flavors, such as mint or lemon. In some cultures, such as Japan, green tea is an important part of traditional tea ceremonies and is revered for its cultural and historical significance.

Overall, green tea is a flavorful and nutritious beverage that is enjoyed around the world for its health benefits, delicate flavor, and cultural significance. Whether enjoyed plain or with added flavors, green tea is a staple in many tea-drinking cultures and continues to be enjoyed for its rich history, cultural significance, and delicious taste.
