Green tea is a beverage made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant that have not undergone a fermentation process, which helps preserve its natural properties and its characteristic greenish color. Originally from China, its consumption has spread throughout the world, especially in Asian countries like Japan and Korea, where it is a fundamental part of the culinary culture.
In cooking, green tea is used not only as an infusion but also as an ingredient in desserts, sauces, and savory dishes, providing a mild, slightly bitter, and refreshing flavor. Furthermore, it is famous for its antioxidant properties, as it helps improve digestion, promotes concentration, and strengthens the immune system.
In different regions of Latin America, green tea may simply be known as green tea, although in some countries it is also called natural green tea or pure green tea to differentiate it from blends or infusions with other ingredients.
