Green Tea Vs Black Tea

Hi, I'm Nelson Drago with Chado Tea Room in Los Angeles on behalf of Expert Village. In this clip we will be talking about green tea, especially green tea from China. Green tea, tea which is rolled but not fermented. Some of special green teas come China. Although India and Sri Lanka have started producing green teas, China still remains the leader of producing green teas. Some of the mainly common teas that we carry from China are: the Gunpowder, the Quing Ming which is the finest grade of Lung Ching and the Dong Yang Dong Hai. These green teas have equally the same caffeine content as the black teas have. They do produce a very light and yellowish liquid color flavor to it and these kind of teas are very good in terms of antioxidants. They have the same amount of antioxidants as any other tea. One of the ways the green tea has to be steeped is for 3 minutes at a water temperature of about 185 to 190 degrees. Remember, you are steeping the green tea, you need the water temperature to be set at about 185 to 190, not more than that. Anything more than that you will be cooking your green tea and not steeping and that's really not the right way to do the green tea. If you want to take the advantage of it make sure you follow the right directions, steep for 3 minutes in about 185 to 190 degrees of water.
