Green Tea v/s Black Tea:

The origin of all tea, whether you choose to drink GREEN tea or choose BLACK TEA to come from a special kind of plant named as Camellia Sinensis But if we talk about the significant difference between black tea and green tea is all about oxidization that black tea is oxidized one whereas, on the other hand, green tea is not.

In a simpler way, you can say that black tea and green tea differ due to the method of preparation they are made, like black tea obtained through the process of fermentation, i.e. (a metabolic process in which conversion of carbohydrates occurs) as black tea undergoes a process of fermentation which results in reducing all the natural benefits from it.

How does the procedure of making Black Tea and Green Tea Differ?

1-Black Tea: 

Making black tea can be described through the following steps.

  • Leaves are plucked.
  • Leaves are then withered.
  • Curled, then cracked and curved.
  • Then leave it to oxidize before they get dehydrated.

The final leaves get deeper and brownish in color as the enzymes in the leaves oxidize, giving them a stronger essence and scent.

2-Green Tea:

The first step of making green tea right after collecting them is to dry them and then warm them with the help of frying and steaming; soon after being plucked through, this step helps the tea from not oxidizing keeping the flavor good and so does its color.

Hence, we can say that green tea leaves are considered to be more natural depending upon their process. In contrast, on the other hand, black tea, due to undergoing the process of fermentation, becomes oxidized and fermented. Due to the difference of procedure through which they are being prepared, their benefits differ, so let's discuss benefits now.

It has been found through research that theaflavins are beneficial from a health perspective because they have the ability of antioxidant.
