All
tea comes from the Camelia sinensis plant. Based on the
method of production, teas can be divided into three
categories: black, oolong and green. Green tea is an
unfermented tea. After withering (if withered at all),
the leaves are immediately pan-fired, steamed or baked
to prevent oxidation, thus no chemical change. The
leaves are then rolled and dried. Rich in
polyphenols antioxidants, green tea has been a
major focus of nutrition research linking green tea consumption with lower rates of
cancer and heart disease. Why
