Green Tea is an unoxidized tea made from Camellia sinensis leaves, heated soon after harvest to stop oxidation, giving it a fresh, grassy flavor and typically 15–48 mg of caffeine per cup.

What Green Tea Is

• Green tea comes from the same plant as black, white, and oolong tea (Camellia sinensis).
• Its defining feature is minimal oxidation: leaves are steamed (Japan) or pan‑fired (China) shortly after picking.
