Where did it come from?
Green tea first originated over 3,000 years ago in the southwest area of China and was originally used for chewing, eating, and flavoring boiled drinking water. Oxidizing properties were discovered upon steaming the leaves in the 8th century. Green tea extracts have become one of the fastest growing herbal products in the world due to their versatile nature.
