Green tea

Green tea is obtained from the leaves of the plant Camellia sinensis, which do not undergo fermentation during processing, giving it its distinctive characteristics. Native to China and widely consumed in Asia, it is appreciated for its delicate flavors and numerous health benefits. Green tea is rich in antioxidants, particularly catechins and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which may help protect against certain diseases, aid in weight loss, and improve alertness. It is usually available in the form of dried leaves, powder (such as matcha), or ready-to-drink infusions.
