Green tea is unfermented tea. Throughout China, Japan and North Africa, green tea is prized for its refreshing aroma and health-giving properties. The leaves are heated immediately after picking, which prevents oxidation and fermentation and maintains the tea's dark green color.

Full of health-boosting antioxidants, green tea is immediately heated to arrest the fermentation process, rolled then dried. A delicate tea with a light fragrant liquor, green tea is best served without milk or lemon. It can be sweetened with sugar or honey. It is well suited to afternoons or as a light after dinner drink.
