Which Is Better For Your Health? Green Tea vs Black Tea

Green vs Black, What’s In A Name?
The leaves of Tea plant (Camellia sinensis) plant are the source of all types of tea black, green, white, or oolong.
we enjoy the hot cuppa of these beautiful leaves in the morning or after a long day’work. But how they are prepared determines the type of tea we end up sipping.

Green tea, the leaves are harvested, withered, and then heated, either using steam or by pan-firing. This stops further oxidation and helps the leaves retain their delicate color and flavor.

Black tea gives rise to a stronger flavor and aroma.
instead of heating, the leaves are crushed, rolled, torn, and allowed to oxidize before being dried.
