GreenTea

Green tea is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinesisplant, just like all other nonherbal teas. Unlike black and oolong (wulong)teas, though, green tea is less processed, as its made using steam-drymethods. The delicate processing techniques are thought to be among the reasonswhy green tea is so rich in nutrients and antioxidants all of which may leadto a range of health benefits.
