Green tea leaves have long been cherished for their refreshing taste and numerous health benefits. At Zaam Farm, we specialize in crafting premium loose-leaf green tea sourced and packaged with care in the UK. Whether you’re a tea enthusiast or a wellness seeker, understanding the different types of green tea and how to enjoy them can elevate your daily routine.
What Are Green Tea Leaves?
Green tea leaves come from the Camellia sinensis plant, just like black tea and oolong tea. The difference lies in how the leaves are processed. Unlike other teas, green tea are minimally oxidized, helping them retain more natural antioxidants, color, and flavor.
These leaves are available in various forms such as Loose Leaf Green Tea, Dried Green Tea Leaves, and Fresh Green Tea Leaves. Each offers a unique experience in aroma, texture, and taste.
