Green tea is consumed especially in Japan and China before and after a meal and also as a food drink.
Green tea is picked from tea bushes by hand. After picking, the tea leaves are allowed to wither for a day, after which the leaves are twisted either by hand or with a machine, causing their cells to break and the enzymes to be released. Green tea is not fermented like black tea, but the fermentation is interrupted by heat treatment. In the heat treatment, the ingredients used in the tea leaves, the enzymes, i.e. ferments, are destroyed, so the tannic acid in the leaves has not broken down and the alkaloids are unchanged and unreduced.
