Green tea is made from the leaves, buds, and rarely, stems of the tea plant, Camellia sinensis. This is the same plant used to produce black tea, white tea, oolong, and Pu-erh. The difference between the different types of tea is in their production method.

Green tea has many different ways of being produced, but they all share in common that shortly after the leaves are harvested, they are somehow heated. This process is a lot like the process of blanching vegetables to preserve their nutritional content.

Some green teas (most Japanese green teas) are steamed, and others (like most Chinese teas) are pan-fired.

Tea has caffeine?

Yes, tea contains caffeine. All types of traditional tea varieties, like green, black, white, and oolong, come from the Camellia sinensis plant, which naturally contains caffeine. However, the herbal teas are made from plants other than the Camellia sinensis, and generally do not contain caffeine. How much caffeine a tea contains depends on factors like the type of tea, water temperature, and brewing time. Usually, the black tea contains more caffeine, ranging from 40 to 50 mg per 8-oz serving. On the other hand, oolong tea contains around 40 mg, and green tea contains approximately 20-30 mg. Even the decaffeinated tea still contains caffeine, generally around 4mg per 8-oz serving. While the tea contains caffeine, the absorption of caffeine from the tea is usually slower than from coffee.
