Green Tea

Green tea is produced by heating freshly picked tea leaves to stop oxidation and retain the green color of the tea. Depending on the country where the tea is produced, different heating methods are used that affect the taste.

Chinese green tea is heated through roasting, while Japanese green tea is typically steamed. These methods give the tea different flavor nuances, but other factors such as production method and type of tea bushes also affect the taste. Chinese green tea often has a slightly more roasted tone and is a milder tea, while Japanese green tea usually has a fuller taste.

The production of green tea can vary from small family farms to large tea factories. The quality of the tea leaves and the subsequent processing is important for creating a high-quality green tea.
