For an overview of Tea; Green Tea is made from tea leaves that are simply steamed and dried soon after harvest. Unfermented leaves that are pale in colour and slightly bitter in flavour, produced mainly in China and Japan.
Black tea is dried and crushed which allows the action of enzymes (which occur naturally in the tea leaves) to convert some of the simple catechins of green tea to more complex forms known as theaflavins and thearubigens. These compounds are responsible for the distinctive flavour and darker colour of black tea. They are also the well-known 'antioxidants' in tea responsible for much of its benefits.
All Tea Lovers Teas make great gifts presented in stylish reusable caddys. |
