Green tea is a type of tea that is made from Camellia sinensis leaves and buds that have not undergone the same withering and oxidation process used to make oolong teas and black teas. It originated in China but is now widely produced and consumed in various parts of the world.

The leaves of green tea are steamed or pan-fired to prevent oxidation, preserving the natural green color and the bioactive compounds present in the leaves. These bioactive compounds, such as catechins and antioxidants, are believed to contribute to the potential health benefits associated with green tea.

Green shotsstea has a slightly bitter taste and a range of flavors depending on factors such as the type of tea plant, growing conditions, and processing methods. It is often praised for its potential health benefits, which may include improved brain function, fat loss, a lower risk of certain cancers, and various other positive effects. Additionally, green tea contains a moderate amount of caffeine, which can provide a mild energy boost.
