Green Tea is made by using the leaves of Camellia sinensis (Tea plant). It was originated in China during the reign of the King Shennong and later its production spread to other countries of Asia. There are many variations of green tea depending upon a variety of tea leaves used, production and processing of the tea, horticultural methods, and time of harvest of the tea plant. The tealeaves used are dried out and go through a different oxidation and withering process than black tea.
