The Power bestowed in leaves!

As the name suggests, green tea is derived from the green leaves of the tea plant. This type of tea is consumed in its natural form. In India, the leaves of the tea plants grown in the hill stations of Darjeeling, Assam, Manipur, Sikkim, Kerala, Tamil Nadu etc. are plucked and used to make the best green tea. Tea leaves of Camellia Sinensis are used for the perfect taste, texture and aroma.
 

Difference between Green Tea and Black Tea

Black Tea is not something very different from Green tea. It is just the oxidised form of green tea. The process of oxidation changes the colour of the tea leaves from green to black. All types of teas contain antioxidants, only the type of anti-oxidants varies from tea to tea. The combination of heat, natural leaves and moisture has an amazing number of benefits for the human body. Green tea is thus, a great drink to consume on a regular basis.
 

Nutritional Status of Green Tea

Green tea is a good source of minerals like manganese, calcium, iron, magnesium and potassium. It also contains powerful antioxidants and vitamins. Green tea has special antioxidants known as catechins. These antioxidants belong to the family of flavonoids. Antioxidants work towards neutralising damage-causing free radicals. Green tea also contains caffeine. The negative effects of caffeine are eliminated by the epigallocatechin gallate and L-Theanine, the two important compounds of green tea.

Green tea is considered a nutritious drink as it contains no traces of fats and calories. When used with other natural herbs, it is known to have the best taste and most beneficial effects.
