Green tea is a type of tea which is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. What sets it apart is its health benefits and variety. Green tea is produced by plucking young tea leaves and quickly heating them to prevent oxidation. With this, you can preserve the natural green color of the leaves and retain their natural aroma. 

The discovery of Green tea is just as fascinating as its variety. Emperor Shen Nung discovered this tea 5,000 years ago in 2737 BC in ancient China.

The flavor of green tea can vary depending on its type and origin. The taste also differs accordingly. While some green teas have a grassy taste, others are floral and slightly sweet. 

Here are a few different flavours of green tea.

Sencha tea came into being when a Chinese monk first introduced the art of rolling to the Japanese. Nagatani Soen, was a tea merchant in Uji, Kyoto, and he developed the technique further. He used the method of steaming and drying green tea leaves before rolling them.  This is how Sencha came into being and now this is one of the most luxurious teas you will find.
