Green tea, originating from East Asia, is a popular beverage cherished for its delicate flavor and numerous health benefits. Made from unoxidized Camellia sinensis leaves, it retains higher levels of antioxidants compared to black or oolong teas. Key compounds include catechins, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which are known for their anti-inflammatory and heart-protective properties. Rich in vitamins, minerals, and amino acids like L-theanine, green tea promotes relaxation while enhancing mental focus. Studies suggest it may support weight management, improve brain function, and lower the risk of chronic diseases. Caffeine content can vary but is generally lower than coffee, making it a moderate source of energy. Despite its benefits, excessive consumption could lead to digestive discomfort or sleep disturbances due to caffeine. Green tea is versatile, enjoyed hot or cold, plain or flavored—often featured in Asian and fusion cuisines as beverages, desserts, or culinary infusions.
