Green tea is the earliest unfermented tea processed by human. Its most obvious features are the green soup and green leaves. The dry tea leaves are green and the tea soup is bright yellowish green. The brewed tea leaves (tea dregs) are fresh green. The green tea has the most varieties. Its output is the highest among all teas. It is produced in the widest areas. Almost all tea-producing areas in China produce green tea. Producing green tea will normally go through three processing procedures: fixation, rolling, and drying. Of them, fixation is the key procedure to decide the color of the green tea. During fixation, high temperature is applied to destroy the activity of the enzyme in the tea and stop the enzymatic oxidation of green tea polyphenol (GTP) substances. Through fixation, the tea leaves semi-baked and semi-stir-fixation green tea.

As green tea is not fermented, it contains large amount of the natural components of the fresh tea leaves, including over 85% of the GTP and caffeine. GTP in green tea is a compound composed of several phenol substances, mainly including catechin, flavone, anthocyanidin, and several phenolic acids. Of them, catechin content is the highest, accounting for over 70% of GTP. Catechin can enhance the activity of capillary vessel, prevent arteriosclerosis, stop diarrhea, kill bacteria, and reduce inflammation. In addition, green tea also contains rich amino acid and many elements and trace elements needed by human body, including phosphorus, calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium, sulfur, iron, manganese, zinc, selenium, copper, fluorine, and iodine. These elements play an important regulating role in keeping physiological health of human body. Though containing high content of nutrients, green tea is not necessarily suitable for all people. Traditional Chinese medicine regards green tea as cold in nature and is not suitable for the patients suffering from fever, liver diseases, neurosism, ulcer, and malnutrition, and Women during gestation and lactation periods.
