Green tea is a type of tea made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. Unlike black tea, the leaves are quickly steamed or pan-fired to prevent oxidation, which helps retain their green color and natural antioxidants. It is known for its light flavor and is often enjoyed hot or cold. Rich in antioxidants, particularly catechins, green tea is believed to offer various health benefits, including improved brain function and fat burning. It is also associated with a lower risk of certain diseases, such as heart disease and diabetes. Many people around the world enjoy green tea for its refreshing taste and potential health advantages.
