Green Tea

Green tea is made from leaves that are heated shortly after picking to prevent oxidation, preserving a fresh, green character. Styles range from the nutty pan-fired teas of China to the deep steamed greens of Japan. Flavors tend toward grassy, vegetal, and sweet notes with a clean finish.
