Green tea originated in China, where it has been consumed for thousands of years both for its pleasant taste and its health benefits. It is rich in antioxidants and phytonutrients that help protect the body from free radical damage and may have beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system, skin, and metabolism, as well as supporting brain function.
Over time, green tea spread to Japan and other parts of the world, becoming an essential part of various cultures and tea ceremonies. Traditional processing methods preserve the leaves in a form close to their natural state, without the fermentation process characteristic of black tea.
Green tea is produced by steaming, pan-firing, or drying fresh tea leaves to prevent oxidation. This process helps preserve their high content of antioxidants and beneficial compounds. The flavor of green tea can range from vegetal and grassy to sweet and floral, depending on the growing region and processing method.
