The Green Tea Plant An Amazing Resource

When you are drinking your daily cup of tea have you ever wondered what a green tea plant looks like?

Tea may be the second most popular drink consumed by the world but many people have not seen the green tea plant that produces it.

Green tea is chosen by about twenty percent of the tea drinking population that is why green tea plant industry is doing very well financially at the moment. Adagio Teas supply a very good range to choose from.

Green tea plants are grown everywhere suitable, and most of them are blossoming.

The tea plant, also known as Camellia sinensis scientifically, is the one that produces the green tea, as the name would suggest.

Have you actually seen a green tea plant? Well, basically this plant looks similar to ordinary evergreen bushes with glossy green leaves and small white to pink flowers.

Of course you will usually find a green tea plant in commercial tea plantations found in countries like China, Japan, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Kenya, Malawi, Turkey, Pakistan, Argentina, India, Bangladesh, and Tanzania.

Green tea plants generally grow to about the height of a full-grown adult. However, they have been found up to five times taller than that in the wild.

Green tea plants thrive in areas that provide conditions of warmth and rain.

Also most of the time, they are grown in high altitude areas, such as hilltops and slopes and so on.

The leaves and leaf buds are harvested once they reach maturity.

The green tea is produced by steaming or roasting the harvested leaves as soon as they are plucked and for maximum efficiency they are rolled and dried to remove any remaining moisture as well.

Several types of tea are produced from the same green tea plant including black tea and oolong. Green tea differs from the others because of the way it is processed and oxidized.

Of all of these three teas, it is generally known that green tea is the most healthy, because it contains the highest level of polyphenols.

Polyphenols are antioxidants, which help to prevent cardiovascular diseases, atherosclerosis, cancer, and many other aging-related diseases.

Green tea has also been proven to lower the cholesterol levels in our body and to prevent hardening of the arteries and thus the onset of ischemic heart diseases.

The green tea plant has many beneficial qualities and evens acts as an antibacterial agent, which can help stop diseases like gingivitis and periodontal decay.
