GREEN TEA
Green tea, made from unfermented tea leaves, has a delicate, vegetal flavor and is highly antioxidant.
Green tea is made from unoxidized tea leaves, giving it a light and delicate flavor. The leaves are harvested and quickly steamed or pan-fired to prevent oxidation and preserve their green color and fresh taste.
Green tea is high in antioxidants, especially catechins, which are thought to have various health benefits, such as reducing inflammation, improving brain function, and lowering the risk of heart disease and certain types of cancer.
Popular green tea varieties include sencha, matcha, dragon well, and gunpowder. Green tea is typically steeped for 1-3 minutes in hot water between 160-180°F (70-80°C), depending on the type of tea and desired strength.
Green tea is a popular beverage worldwide, especially in Asia, where it has been consumed for centuries due to its health benefits and cultural significance. It can be eaten plain or with honey or lemon, and it can be used as a flavoring or ingredient in various recipes.
Note: Green tea can become bitter if steeped for too long, so it's important not to over-steep it. You can adjust the amount of tea leaves and steeping time to your desired taste. You can also experiment with different varieties of green tea to find your favorite flavor.
