Green tea originates from China and has become associated with many cultures in Asia from Japan to the Middle East. Recently, it has become more widespread in the West, where black tea is traditionally consumed. Many varieties of green tea have been created in countries where it is grown that can differ substantially due to variable growing conditions, processing and harvesting time.

How to Brew a Perfect Cup of Green Tea? A perfect cup of green tea means different things to different people. Many tea connoisseurs believe that the best-tasting green tea is brewed for under one minute with hot, but not boiling, water. Using boiling water is thought to impart a bitter flavor to the tea. Scientists are interested in green tea for another reason. Polyphenols are a group of compounds in green tea that have been found to have antioxidant activity and may prevent heart disease and cancer. There have been a number of studies examining the different methods of preparing tea to get the most benefit. Here are the results of those studies: Size of tea leaves - Small loose leaf green tea is the best choice, because it infuses quickly. Tightly curled or large leaf tea requires a longer infusion time. Loose leaf vs. teabags - Loose leaves are preferable to teabags. In order to increase the extraction of polyphenols, teabags should be continuously dunked in the teapot rather than left to float on the water. Temperature - Boiling water promotes the extraction of polyphenols. Steeping Time - Tea should be steeped for 2-5 minutes. The polyphenol content of tea increases with steeping time, while a shorter steeping time results in a high caffeine content but low polyphenol content. Source: about.com
