Whether it’s black or green tea, we’re referring to the same plant, the Camellia Sinensis tea bush. To make green tea, the tea leaves are picked/harvested and steamed immediately after picking to stop the fermentation process, then the leaves are rolled and dried. In this process, the tea leaves are processed more gently to retain as much of their natural antioxidant and nutrient content as possible To brew green tea, we need water that has just reached boiling point. If the water is less hot, it will give us a tasteless tea. Conversely, if the water is boiled, the tea will lose many of its beneficial properties. For each cup, add 1 teaspoon of tea and water. Let it stand for no more than 3 minutes, strain and drink, you can add Greek honey for extra flavor.If we leave the tea in the water for longer, the taste changes and it starts to become bitter.
