Green tea is a minimally oxidized tea made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. Unlike black tea, the leaves are quickly steamed or pan-fired after harvesting to halt oxidation, preserving their green colour and fresh, grassy flavour.
The production process includes withering, heating, rolling, and drying, resulting in a delicate taste profile with vegetal, sweet, or nutty notes. Popular in Japan, and Kenya, green tea is valued for its high antioxidant content. It is often consumed for its refreshing qualities and associated health benefits, making it a favourite among wellness enthusiasts.
