Why Green Tea Might Be the Secret to Boosting Your Energy
Leaves should be left to wilt for several hours before being steamed for 30 to 120 seconds (the longer they're steamed, the deeper their color and richer and smoother their flavor will become). This brief steaming process stops oxidation while maintaining their vibrant green hue and refreshing taste. Cooler air is introduced quickly in order to prevent unintended oxidization and preserve all of the qualities and health benefits associated with good green tea, thus "locking in" its qualities and health benefits.
