What is Green Tea?

Green tea is made from the same plant as black tea. However, the leaves for green tea are dried and unlike black tea leaves, they do no undergo the multiple steps of withering and oxidizing that black tea requires. The leaves are small and when dried are a muted green color. They produce a tea that is a pale green, or yellow. The flavor varies greatly depending on how the tea was processed and flavored, whether pan-roasted, or scented with jasmine. A basic green tea has flavors that generally include fruity, floral, earthy and vegetal, and bitter. Green tea can be served hot or cold.

What does Green Tea Taste Like?

Bitter

Bitter is one of the five main tastes. It has a sharp and pungent profile. Bitter is a naturally occurring flavor in many foods, including coffee, chocolate, bitter melon, and chicory. Bitter is used sparingly to accentuate the flavors around it and can be mellowed by other tastes in both savory and sweet dishes.
