Green Tea: The Origin of Tea

Green tea is the oldest of the tea family. To make green tea, makers will either throw the freshly picked leaves into a wok to be stir-fried or a giant steamer. It is believed to have a high amount of antioxidants and mainly comes from China, Taiwan, and Japan. Below are some green tea varieties:

Gunpowder

This tea is very popular among tea lovers in America and Africa. It is presented as small hand-rolled green tea balls.

Sencha

This tea originally comes from Japan. But, as the global demand increases, Chinese tea makers are also producing it now. When steeped, it produces grassy golden-yellow liquor.

Chun Mee

Chun Mee originates from China and is harvested in early springs. It yields golden-yellow liquor similar to Sencha but with a more pungent taste.

Lung Ching

Lastly, the Lung Ching is a green tea variety from Zhejiang, China. High-quality Lung Ching tea is highly sought after because it is made only with fresh buds and new leaves.
