More Information
Green tea has a very long history in China. Now there are many varieties of green teas growing in over 20 provinces in China while the most well known are from Zhejiang, Anhui and Jiangxi provinces. Green tea is heated to 180°C temperature and is not fermented, which allows the tea to keep most ingredients compared to other tea variations. High quality green tea should have a green color (both leaf and soup) and have a long lasting bittersweet and nutty fragrance with freshly sweet flavor.
