Guest guest Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 What makes a green tea? Would a lemon balm and/or ginger mint whipped up in a blender be considered a green tea? This makes a wonderful " tea " in my book, either hot or cold. I was just wondering if it would be called a " green tea " ? JaneB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Green tea as opposed to black tea. We in the west are accustomed to black tea, which is tea leaves that have been processed. Before processing, they are gree. Here in China, a major source of tea, no-one drinks black tea. They use the natural green leaves from the tea tree or bush to make tea.Seehttp://chinesefood.about.com/library/weekly/aa021103a.htmDavidJane <jmbennett wrote: What makes a green tea?

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Green tea ..yes it is from the same bush probably besides the processing there is another difference....When I visited a tea plantation in Sri Lanka I was told, only tender shoots are used to make green tea...also green tea supposedly contains more anti-oxidants than black teaBlack tea is from slightly older leaves,Begum Re: Question on what makes a green tea Posted by: "Jane MacRoss" highfield1 janemacross Tue May 29, 2007 2:09 am (PST) Green tea is untreated "black tea" - i.e. the same bush just not treated the same way JaneM Be a better Globetrotter.
