Green tea

Green tea is made from tea leaves that have not been oxidized. Green tea can be prepared according to the Chinese method, where the leaves are roasted in pans over the fire or after the Japanese method where the leaves are kept under water vapor immediately after they picked to inactivate the enzymes that would otherwise trigger the oxidation process.

Green tea has a light, gentle grassy flavor and aroma and is also available in flavored versions, as lemon or mint.

Green tea is considered to be extra healthy and contains plenty of useful antioxidants and also a smaller amount of vitamins and minerals.
