Tea leaves - Import export

Green tea, known for its antioxidant properties, is the most widespread and appreciated drink in the East. Thanks to its processing, it maintains a high percentage of polyphenols. Green tea leaves retain their natural green color because they are not subjected to any process that alters their chemical properties. Freshly harvested leaves are treated with heat which inhibits the enzymes responsible for oxidation. This stabilization can be done dry – in special concave pan-like containers – by air or by steam. The subsequent steps are very different depending on the product you want to obtain. Afterwards, the leaves are dried and ready for packaging. You can choose between Kukicha, Zagara and Green Lychee
