Green Tea

Description

Green Tea is a type of tea made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, where the leaves are minimally processed to preserve their natural green color and delicate flavor. Unlike black tea, green tea is not oxidized, which allows it to retain more of its natural antioxidants and health-promoting compounds. It has a light, fresh taste with subtle vegetal, grassy, or floral notes, depending on the variety and processing methods.

Green tea is widely known for its potential health benefits, including boosting metabolism, promoting heart health, and providing a calming yet alerting effect due to its moderate caffeine content. It can be enjoyed hot or cold and is often consumed plain, though it can be flavored with lemon, mint, or honey. Green tea is also the base for many popular varieties such as matcha, jasmine green tea, and sencha. It is a great choice for those seeking a refreshing and health-conscious beverage.
