How Do They Make Green Tea?

When they process green tea, leaves from the tea plant are harvested, withered, and then heated up. (Except for matcha green tea, which is processed in a completely different way) Green tea is often heated up by being steamed (Japan), or heated in a wok (Chinese). By heating up the leaves, the oxidation process is stopped, which allows the leaves to keep their color as well as most of their flavor.

Green tea is a type of tea that is made from Camellia sinensis leaves that have not been fermented. This gives green tea its characteristic green color and flavor. Green tea is a popular beverage in many parts of the world, and it is known for its health benefits.

Green tea is a good source of antioxidants, which can help protect the body against damage from free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage cells, leading to diseases such as cancer and heart disease. Green tea also contains caffeine, which can help improve alertness and cognitive function.

The green tea leaves are flattened by hand in a heated wok to create their characteristic shape. When the green tea is properly brewed and the tea leaves open, they release a mellow chestnut flavor and a slightly sweet finish. Green tea can be enjoyed hot or cold, and it can be served plain or with milk and sugar.
