Green Tea

What is Green Tea?

Green tea, also known as unoxidized tea, is made exclusively from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. Workers pluck the leaves, allow them to wither briefly, then immediately apply heat to halt oxidation and preserve their green color. This rapid processing results in higher concentrations of chlorophyll, polyphenols, and antioxidants compared to black or oolong teas.

Growing conditions fall into two categories: sun-grown and shade-grown. Farmers typically harvest leaves three times annually, with the first flush producing the highest quality yields. Heating methods vary by region and tea master preference, influencing the final flavor profile.

What is Organic Green Tea

Organic green tea comes from the same plant but follows strict cultivation standards. Immediately after harvesting, workers gently heat the leaves to prevent oxidation. This process preserves their green color and fresh flavor. The resulting tea tastes light, clean, and smooth. It provides mild stimulation without causing jitters or drowsiness.

The Process of Making Organic Green Tea

Fresh tea leaves are harvested at peak maturity when young and tender. Workers hand-pick only the most suitable leaves from the garden. The leaves receive immediate heating to prevent oxidation and preserve their bright green color and fresh flavor. Skilled workers then roll and dry the leaves slowly to retain their natural compounds. When brewed, the leaves fully expand and release their flavor into the water.

Organic and Sustainable Green Tea

Organic green tea is grown using certified organic methods. No synthetic pesticides or fertilizers touch the leaves. Farmers maintain soil health through compost and crop rotation. This results in a cleaner taste and lighter body. All teas carry organic certifications that verify fair treatment for workers who hand-pick the leaves. Organic farming of green tea  uses eco-friendly packaging to reduce environmental impact. These practices align with California Green Tea standards, where consumers value natural growing methods and freshness.
