Assam Premium Green Tea – Natural & Home Grown

Description

Tea can be classified into three classes, namely, fermented or Black tea, unfermented or Green tea, de-fermented or Oolong tea. The stages and the manner of processing are common for all the three. First, the tender leaves are plucked and then heated for about 18-24 hours after which they are rolled down by machines which make them into small grains. They are then exposed to sun for about 30-40 minutes and then packed and sent for marketing.

Assam contributes 15.6% of world’s tea production and 55% of India’s tea output.

Green tea is made from unoxidized leaves and is one of the less processed types of tea. It therefore contains the most antioxidants and beneficial polyphenols.
