A green tea is an unfermented tea. Only the buds and upper leaves are picked from this tea. These can be picked several times per season, although each picking is different. After picking and fading the leaves, they are immediately cooked or steamed to prevent the oxidation or fermentation process. This preserves the green color of the leaves. Then the leaves are broken into large hot or cold rollers to grind them and spread out to dry. Finally, the leaves get sorted.
