GREEN TEA

Green teas are the world’s oldest varieties.
Generally, the green tea leaf is plucked then steamed (or not) and fired until crisp. Green tea along with white teas are the least processed. When making your cup of green tea, never boil your water. Always use water that is just before the boiling point about 180 degrees, and steep 3 minutes otherwise you will end up with a very bitter cup of tea.
