What is green tea

Green tea is what you call "the original" tea, the unfermented, natural product that, after roasting and drying, is heat treated so that no tea leaves are oxidized. It has an effect on the color of the tea which becomes significantly lighter, and also on the taste which becomes significantly lighter compared to the black tea.
