Green tea

Over the past fifty years, green tea has exploded into an extremely popular beverage choice for tea drinkers worldwide. But despite its late entrance into the western world, green tea has been consumed for centuries in Asian countries like China, Japan and India. Along with most other types of tea, green tea began as a drink fit only for nobles and slowly became available for all levels of society. In recent years, green tea's health benefits have made it even more popular among tea drinkers, especially in the western hemisphere.
