Green tea is a natural antioxidant and is produced from the leaves of the tea plant. Green tea is not allowed to oxidize and is quickly dried, panfried or oven fired to dehydrate the tea leaves for storage. The leaves are often rolled into different shapes before drying. Once the leaves are shaped, they are dried and packaged. Green tea does have less caffeine than black tea. Green tea is known for its high contents of vitamins and minerals. With tastes that are light and refreshing, green tea is the perfect addition to any diet. The light and delicate flavour of green tea makes a good complement to breakfast, lunch and dinner.
