Green tea is the fresh, nonoxidized leaves of the tea plant, picked at the height of their verdant glory. Picking tea before it has oxidized imparts it with a lighter more vegetal taste that is herbal in flavor and feel.
Although it can contain as much, if not more, caffeine than black tea, the best green teas provide a mellow, energetic boost that provides a counterpart to black tea's frenetic rush.
Green tea is available in many forms, and which you choose depends on when and how you are most likely to prepare it.
There are many varieties of green tea, each with its distinct flavors and characteristics, such as Sencha, Longjing, Bilochun, and Gyokuro, highlighting the diversity in taste.
