What is Green Tea?

Green tea is made from Camellia sinensis leaves that have not been allowed to oxidize, unlike black and oolong teas are made from fully oxidized tea leaves. The oxidation process is halted when the tea leaves are heated to a certain temperature which would otherwise continue until the tea leaves turn black. The heat also preserves chlorophyll, which gives its distinctive color and fresh flavor.

Green tea has been used for centuries in many cultures to treat a variety of ailments and to promote health and well-being. Recently, it has been gaining attention as a potential aid in weight loss. Studies have shown that it contains compounds that can help the body to burn fat and calories, as well as provide a variety of health benefits. It is high in antioxidants, which can help to reduce inflammation and improve overall health. It also contains caffeine and catechins, both are linked to weight loss.
