  1. green tea

    Green tea is a type of tea that is made from the leaves and buds of Camellia sinensis that have not undergone the same withering and oxidation process used to make oolong and black tea. The leaves are typically heated or steamed to prevent fermentation, resulting in a lighter color and more subtle flavor. Originating from China, green tea is now produced and consumed worldwide for its potential health benefits, which may include improved brain function, fat loss, a lower risk of heart disease, and cancer prevention.

  1. Green tea

    Green tea is made from the leaves from Camellia sinensis that have undergone minimal oxidation during processing. Green tea originates in China, but it has become associated with many cultures throughout Asia. Green tea has recently become more widespread in the West, where black tea has been the traditionally consumed tea. Green tea has become the raw material for extracts which are used in various beverages, health foods, dietary supplements, and cosmetic items. Many varieties of green tea have been created in the countries where it is grown. These varieties can differ substantially due to variable growing conditions, horticulture, production processing, and harvesting time. Over the last few decades green tea has been subjected to many scientific and medical studies to determine the extent of its long-purported health benefits, with some evidence suggesting that regular green tea drinkers may have a lower risk of developing heart disease and certain types of cancer. Although green tea does not raise the metabolic rate enough to produce immediate weight loss, a green tea extract containing polyphenols and caffeine has been shown to induce thermogenesis and stimulate fat oxidation, boosting the metabolic rate 4% without increasing the heart rate.
