Tea is one of the world's most popular beverages, second only to water.

The health-promoting benefits of green tea have been recognized in China for thousands of years.
Although green and black tea are derived from the same plant Camellia sinensis, there are significant differences in the preparation of the two. Black tea (more common in the western world) is withered, rolled, fermented and dried for curing.

Through this flavor enhancing fermentation process, the bioactive polyphenols of the fresh leaf are oxidized, and black tea loses much of the beneficial polyphenols.

Green tea, on the other hand, is prepared from lightly steamed and dried leaves of the tea plant. The steaming process inactivates the enzymes responsible for oxidation, leaving the polyphenol content intact and resulting in a product with a chemical composition very similar of that of Proprietary Processing

Green tea characteristics vary widely according to growing region, altitude, climate and processing techniques.

The extraction process is designed to preserve the beneficial green tea components by maximizing the concentration of the naturally-occurring polyphenols, while eliminating caffeine.
