Green tea is made by processing fresh tea leaves of the Camellia sinesis plant using heat or steam immediately after collection. This minimizes any oxidation process, which makes it unique from other types of tea. Camilla sinensis contains polyphenols and catechins. These catechins comprise 30%-40% of the dried tea leaves and are known to be powerful antioxidants. Studies have suggested that these catechins can prevent the formation of free radicals, which cause damage to your body and ultimately cell death. They have also been known to support various health functions such as being anti-inflammatory, immune regulatory, anti-cancer, cardiovascular protective, and hepatoprotective.
