Where
It Comes From
Like all three of the major Asian teas in the
market, green tea comes from the plant called Carmellia sinensis. Much of the health
benefits of green tea diets owe to the steaming method of making it. As opposed
to black and oolong tea which undergoes full oxidization, green tea diet is
only gently steamed, preserving the natural antioxidants in its original form.
