Brief Intro to Green Tea.

Green tea is a type of tea that is made from Camellia sinensis leaves (small leaf variety and not the large leaf) that have not undergone the same withering, oxidation and fermentation process used to make oolong and black tea or pu-erh tea. Green tea originated in China, but its production has spread to many countries in Asia. Several varieties of green tea exist. These teas differ substantially because of the variety of Camellia sinensis plant used, growing conditions, horticultural methods, time of harvest, production and processing. Loose leaf green tea has been the most popular form of tea in China since the Southern Song dynasty. While Chinese green tea was originally steamed, as it still is in Japan, after the early Ming dynasty it has typically been processed by being pan-fired in a dry wok. Other processes employed in China today include oven-firing, basket-firing, tumble-drying and sun-drying. Camellia sinensis is grown in many regions throughout China but most of the finished green tea products in China today comes from the central and eastern China areas (Jiangxi, Hubei, Zhejiang, Shandong, Anhui, Jiangsu, Fujian).
