In Chinese, black tea is called 红茶
or “red tea.”
Majority of Chinese people drink green tea plain,
without adding sugar or cream.
绿茶
• Green Tea
• Chinese green tea is light and refreshing. It is freshly
picked in spring then dried and pan-fired immediately
while it is still fresh to halt active enzymes that cause
oxidation. This special processing technique preserves
its unique taste and color as well as the high content of
vitamin and minerals. Scientific research and clinical
studies have proven that regular consumption of green
tea can prevent cancer, lower cholesterol and blood
pressure, strengthen body immune system, reduce
stress and slow down the aging process.
