Green tea is known for its numerous health benefits including antioxidants that have the potential to improve brain function, aid in weight loss, and reduce the risk of various diseases. The tea leaves are quickly steamed or pan-fired after harvesting to prevent oxidation, which helps retain their green color and preserve beneficial compounds. The caffeine content in green tea is moderate. Traditionally, green tea is enjoyed without milk or sweeteners, though it can be paired with lemon or honey for added flavor.
