Green tea is produced from the leaves and buds of Camellia sinensis, a flowering shrub from the Theaceae family native to China and East Asia. The defining characteristic of green tea is its minimal oxidation during processing — after harvest, the leaves are promptly heated (either pan-fired in the Chinese style or steamed in the Japanese style) to halt oxidation, preserving the leaf's green color and fresh, vegetal character. Chinese green teas, pan-fired in woks or vats, tend to produce a paler yellow-green infusion with notes of grass, seaweed, or gentle nuttiness. Popular Chinese green styles include Long Jing (Dragonwell), Bi Luo Chun, and Gunpowder green. Contains naturally occurring caffeine. Size: 23.8g / 1 oz.
