Green Tea, like white and black tea, is made from the plant “Camellia sinensis”, and resembles white tea more than it does black tea. The leaves are heated immediately after plucking to prevents them from withering or oxidizing. The colour is typically pale green to golden and the flavour can vary tremendously, from smooth and subtle to a little astringent.
