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.
