Green teas are also from the camellia sinensis bush just like black tea; however the leaves are not fermented. The leaves are roasted, rolled and then fired. Roasting kills off the enzymes responsible for oxidation and the heat makes the leaves soft and flexible ready for various shapes.

In the news and all over we enjoy hearing all the enormous health benefits of green tea. We appreciate hearing our customers personal stories and witness to the fact their doctors are recommendations to daily consume several cups green tea. From healthy metabolism, healthy cells, clarity of mind to a slew of so many other reasons we love our green teas.

Caffeine content of green tea is lower then black tea.
