Green TeaGreen tea is a tea made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis that has had little or no oxidation while being processed. Green tea originated in China four thousand years ago and was brought to Japan sometime in the 6th Century. Green Tea is hand or machine picked, dried to remove moisture and then shaped by rolling or twisting. Because Green tea is processed less than other varieties
of tea, it has a higher EGCG level; EGCG is a catechin, which helps protect the body from harmful free radicals. Recently many of the long- standing and acclaimed medicinal benefits of tea have been scientifically supported by the medical and academic research, constantly making Green tea a more popular and trendy beverage. Green tea, much like coffee, has a distinctive taste based on the province or region it is grown in. Therefore if you think you do not like green tea try some different varieties, especially Teaopia green teas that often list the origin of the tea. I rate my teas on a scale from 0 
to 10; 0 I will never let pass my lips again. 10 I like to always keep on hand, 7-9 I like to have around and enjoy often.My Favourite Green Teas:
