The green tea is obtained from the tea plant, which scientific name is Camellia Sinensis. Its origins go back to the south and the southeastern areas of the Asian continent. Nowadays it is not only cultivated in this region but also in many others, either tropical or subtropical ones. As for the etymology of this plant, we can say that Sinensis is a latin-based word meaning Chinese. Camellia Sinensis is known especially for being a shrub or small tree, but we should mention that in uncontrolled natural environment it can reach up to 9 meters high. In cultivations, an adequate height is kept for this herb in order to achieve a good growth of its leaves and for an effective harvest, without going beyond the two meters high. It is evergreen during the whole year and the petals of its flowers are white. Its flowering time goes from October to February. Its flowers can be alone or grouped in pairs or trios in the armpit area of leaves. We would like to highlight that the green tea is obtained from the same plant as the black tea, what makes them different is the process to which the leaves go on after the harvest. The green tea does not undergo any fermentation, meanwhile the black one does. That's why the green tea preserves a major antioxidant capacity than its black version. The green tea is a very powerful antioxidant, and thanks to that it is one of the best protectors we can count on if we want to avoid the excess of cellular mutations. But this is not the "only feature" the green tea has on offer in order to be an ally for our health.
