Green tea is one of the world's most popular drinks, prized for its delicious flavour and multiple health benefits, produced from the leaves of Camellia Sinensis, a plant native to China. 

The production process of this type of tea is very different from that of other varieties, such as black or oolong tea. 

The first thing to know is that the tea leaves are harvested by hand, usually at dawn, in order to best preserve the aroma and flavour. After that, the leaves are left to wither for about 8-24 hours, depending on the type of tea to be produced. The result is a slightly bitter drink, very fragrant and rich in natural antioxidants.
