Green Tea has been long valued in China and Japan for its medicinal properties. Lately this centuries old beverage has been the subject of many medical studies all over the world and has started gaining popularity in Western Culture. Green Tea also comes from the Camelia Sinensis plant, but the tea remains green because the fermentation process is stopped before it can begin.
