What it is
Tea from Camellia sinensis processed to retain a greener character than black tea.
Plain-language buying tip
Choose by style and origin; pan-fired, steamed, roasted, and shaded teas can taste very different.
Forms and use
Use freshly drawn hot water below a rolling boil for a first test cup, then adjust to the package.
Common forms include loose leaf, bagged tea, powder. The best form depends on whether you want quick, even distribution, a visible ingredient, or an infusion you can strain before serving.
Storage
Keep dry tea tightly sealed, cool, dry, and away from strong aromas.
Quick questions
What should I check before buying Green Tea?
Check the stated botanical identity or style when available, the form, and the ingredient list. These details are more useful than relying on a broad category name alone.
