Green Tea

Green teas are differentiated from other tea categories by their lack of oxidation. A gentle cooking process denatures the enzymes within the leaves which prevents the tea from oxidizing. This process brings out the distinct hearty vegetal flavors of Chinese green teas and the grassy savoriness of Japanese teas.
