Green tea is a plant native to Fujian, China, whose original name is "Tay." The Dutch, who introduced tea to Europe, evolved its name. The Portuguese used the name "Chá," originally from Macao, which means grass.
This plant's main ingredient is its leaves, which are stabilized after harvesting with water vapor to prevent enzymatic oxidation. It contains xanthine bases (mainly caffeine), theanine, flavonoids, tannins, and more.
