Green tea is a type of tea which has not been allowed to oxidize (unlike
black and
oolong teas). Green teas do undergo certain processing/preparation (such as steaming or pan-firing), which varies greatly between different styles of green tea, but is generally more than
white tea.
Green tea is produced in many different regions. Green tea is especially widely produced and consumed in
China. In
Japan, almost all tea consumed is green tea, and Japan is also famous for many unique and sometimes peculiar styles of green tea. Virtually every region that produces tea produces some green tea, although in some regions it is a tiny portion of production.
Because of its diversity, the flavor and aroma of green teas are difficult to describe in general terms. Many green teas have a more vegetal aroma, with grassy or herbaceous tones. Some of the pan-fired green teas have a smokey aroma, and some steamed teas have an aroma suggestive of seaweed.
Caffeine in Green Tea:
Many websites and other sources claim that green tea has less caffeine than black tea. This is not necessarily true; the caffeine content of teas varies widely both between different types of green tea and between different types of black tea. Most generalizations about caffeine content of tea are misleading.
Other "Green Tea":
The processes involved in the production of green tea have also recently been extended to
herbal teas--teas made out of plants other than the tea plant. Examples are
green rooibos and
honeybush.
