Green tea processing is designed to make the green and freshness in the leaf accessible and preserve it. This green and freshness is also reflected in the typical aromas. In most cases, green teas also have a pronounced tart flavour, which can turn bitter, especially in the case of cheaper qualities. As one of the oldest types of processing, green tea is now produced in almost all growing regions in China and Japan. The importance of the terroir is correspondingly high.
