Green tea is made from tea leaves that are unoxidized during the manufacturing process. This is achieved by either tossing fresh leaves in heated woks - also called pan frying, a preferred Chinese method - or by steaming the leaves, a Japanese method, in the early part of the process. This "blanching" ensures the enzymes in the leaf do not oxidize later during the rolling and drying phase. A good green tea calls for quality plucking and quick, but precise manufacturing. Depending upon the origin, green tea can taste vegetal, floral, toasted, nutty, grassy and savory. Shop our selection of green teas:
