What is Green Tea?
Green tea is crafted from the Camellia sinensis plant, the same source as black tea and oolong tea. What sets it apart is its minimal processing. The freshly harvested leaves are quickly steamed or pan-fired, preventing oxidation and preserving their vibrant green color, fresh flavor, and potent antioxidants.
