Green tea

Green tea is known for its numerous health benefits. Native to Asia, it is grown primarily in China, India, and Japan . The plant, which can reach two meters in the wild, is kept low in cultivation, with pale green ovate-pointed leaves. The white flowers have golden-yellow stamens.

Green tea is stabilized using dry heat (roasting) or moist heat (steaming), inhibiting oxidation and preserving the leaves' green color. Unlike black tea, which undergoes more intense oxidation, green tea retains a more delicate and fresh flavor.
