If you apply high heat to a tea leaf within a few hours of picking, you’ll halt oxidation, thereby preserving its fresh green flavor and vegetal aroma. Green teas are almost completely unoxidized. They tend to taste, well, green. This is one of the oldest types of tea and, up until a few hundred years ago, the most commonly consumed.
