GREEN TEA is picked then steamed to neutralize active enzymes. After steaming, the leaf is withered and manipulated to achieve the desired leaf finish. It is then steamed again or pan fired. This process yields a chemical composition in green tea similar to the fresh tea leaf. Green tea offers a pale colored brew and possesses a fresh, grassy, and sometimes astringent flavor.
