Green tea
About Green Tea
Green tea is picked, withered and then steamed and/or fired to prevent any oxygen getting into the leaf. Shaping also takes place during firing to maintain or alter the appearance of the leaf. The finest green and white teas are often those made from the first plucking when the rains first begin to fall in April. The spring rain makes the fresh tea buds swell and reach their greatest concentration of flavour.
