NATURAL – CHINESE GREEN TEAS

Thousands of years ago, China discovered tea drinking, and everything we know about tea cultivation today comes from China, the country of the high-lying tea-growing region. It is the largest tea producer in the world.

Green tea is made from a plant called Camellia sinensis. Green teas should not be soaked in hot water due to its high vitamin content. Freshly picked leaves are dried and then heat treated to prevent fermentation. At the end of the process, they are cooled, then the leaves are twisted and rolled into their final shape. Tea is rich in minerals and antioxidants. It has beneficial physiological effects such as cancer prevention, strengthens the immune system, prevents cardiovascular disease, lowers cholesterol, stimulates the brain and helps burn fat.
