Production of green tea
The tea leaves go through complex workmanship to develop the characteristic taste with careful rollers, heat and dry. For the green tea, which is mainly grown in Japan and China, you often only use the fresh leaf buds and one or two young leaves of the highest quality, which are processed directly.

A distinction is made between two different types of manufacture in the green tea, with which the fresh leaves are treated with heat. In Japan, the tea leaves are steamed and roasted in China. When steaming in Japan, the leaves are steamed with damp heat at over 100 degrees Celsius for a short time in order to prevent any kind of dark discoloration. When roasting according to Chinese tradition, they are roasted in the hot wok in dry heat for less than a minute, often by hand. The green tea is then rolled and dried.
