GREEN TEA Description Green, oolong and black tea. When the leaves of the tea plant are harvested and dried, the resulting tea is called green tea; if the same leaves are subjected to a semi-fermentation process (light fermentation) followed by drying, the resulting tea is called oolong tea; when the leaves are finally fermented, dried and roasted, they are called black tea. Various fragrant flowers, rhizomes or seeds are also added to many teas during preparation, thus creating fragrant teas. Green tea is richer in essential oils and polyphenols than the other two, but to ensure the complete extraction of these beneficial properties, green tea must be infused for much longer than the few minutes required for a standard infusion. ingredients 100% green tea leaves ( Camellia sinensis ). How to use To extract the flavor and theine: let 1 teaspoon (2 g) steep in a cup of hot water for about 5 minutes. To also extract polyphenols: the Chinese method consists of pouring boiling water several times throughout the day over the same green tea leaves placed in a teapot. Two other methods can be suggested. The first involves pouring one liter of boiling water over three tablespoons of green tea (about 15 g) in a teapot; letting it steep, covered, overnight; reheating the infusion of leaves in the morning; filtering through a stainless steel sieve (placed on a funnel) into a bottle; and drinking throughout the day. The second method involves using the heated base of a drip coffee maker, placing the teapot with the green tea leaves already in boiling water on top to keep the green tea leaves warm, and then removing the tea from the teapot.
