Origins of Green Tea Green Tea is extracted from the Camellia sinensis plant, a plant that has been used for traditional medicine by Chinese people for millennia. The word Sinensis roughly translates to 'from China' where it is thought that the plant originates from, although evidence suggests that the plant may even originate from Vietnam, India and Thailand. The plant is a shrub that grows white, scented flowers. Although the shrubs can grow up to 6m tall, they are often cultivated to 2m for ease of harvest. Green Tea plantations often appear to be dense and compact because the leaves grow in tight clusters. Unlike black tea, Green Tea remains unprocessed, hence its colour and name. The substance is thought to have been used for over 5,000 years, however nowadays the product is used as a natural source of caffeine. Benefits of Green Tea Green Green Tea has the potential to play a role in the maintenance of normal body weight and normal cholesterol levels.
