Green Tea vs Black Tea

Green tea and black tea are both derived from the same plant, Camellia sinensis, but they undergo different processing methods, resulting in distinct flavours, appearances, and health benefits. Here are the main differences between green tea and black tea:

1. Processing: Green tea is made from leaves that are quickly heated or steamed after harvesting to prevent oxidation. This minimal processing helps retain the natural green colour and preserves the tea's delicate flavour and aroma. On the other hand, black tea is fully oxidised, which involves allowing the leaves to wither and ferment before they are dried and processed. This oxidation process gives black tea its dark colour, robust flavour, and full-bodied profile.

2. Flavour: Green tea typically has a light, grassy, and slightly astringent taste with subtle vegetal or floral notes. The flavour can vary depending on the specific type of green tea and the region where it is grown. Black tea, on the other hand, tends to have a stronger and bolder flavour profile. It can range from malty and brisk to fruity or even smoky, depending on the variety.

3. Caffeine Content: Both green tea and black tea contain caffeine, but the levels can vary. In general, black tea has higher caffeine content than green tea. However, the specific tea variety, growing conditions, and brewing methods can also influence the caffeine levels. If you're looking for a lower caffeine option, you may prefer green tea.

4. Brewing Methods: Green tea is typically brewed at lower temperatures (around  70-85°C) for a shorter time (1-3 minutes) to prevent bitterness and preserve its delicate flavours. Black tea is often brewed at higher temperatures (around 90-100°C) for a longer time (3-5 minutes) to extract its full-bodied flavour.

Ultimately, the choice between green tea and black tea comes down to personal preference in terms of taste, caffeine content, and desired health benefits. Both types of tea have their own unique characteristics and can be enjoyed as part of a healthy lifestyle.
