It has been popular in Asia for centuries, where it was produced more than 3000 years ago. Today, most green tea is still produced in Asia, though other countries produce green tea, as well. There are literally hundreds of varieties of green tea, and many different grades of quality within these many varieties. Green tea comes from the same plant as black and white teas; the Camellia sinensis. Green tea differs from black tea in the way its processed, however. Green tea is not fermented during its processing the way that black tea is. Rather, after the tea leaves are plucked, they are laid out to wither for about 8 to 24 hours to let the water evaporate from the leaves. Next, the leaves are steamed or pan fried to prevent fermentation from taking place. Finally, the leaves are rolled and then dried once again. http://advice-and.info/Food-and-Drink/51632_Tea_When_Are_The_Best_Green_Tea_Pluckings.html Sun, 03 Jun 2007 21:19:13 GMT Green tea is fast becoming one of the hottest ways to look after your health.

It sounds like a simple difference, but it causes some very powerful differences between the two types of tea. http://advice-and.info/Food-and-Drink/51488_Tea_The_Best_Green_Tea_Blends.html Sat, 02 Jun 2007 12:39:27 GMT If you havent experienced White Persian Melon tea, youve missed a real treat.

One of the best coffees by far that is on the market today is Kona coffee, which is grown and roasted with utmost care to provide the very best coffee experience for those who care to indulge. Kona coffee is grown in the Kona region on the big island of Hawaii, and has been produced since the 1800s. Coffee plants were originally introduced into the area by Samuel Reverend Ruggles, when he brought Brazilian cuttings into the region to grow. Although it took many years for the plants to take off, coffee has now become a big business in Hawaii, with over 600 Kona coffee farms in the area today. Kona coffee beans are grown in the ideal conditions of this region, offering the plants the optimum amounts of sun, moisture and temperature to grow the best beans possible. The blooms appear on the trees in February and March, and the small, white flowers that cover the plants are known as Kona snow. The beans are harvested from August to January every year, and the trees are picked over many times to ensure that the harvest is complete. Once the cherries housing the coffee beans have been picked and the beans are extracted, they will go through a sun-drying process before they are sold to roasters, or roasted by the farmer himself for a unique, customized coffee. http://advice-and.info/Food-and-Drink/49081_Kona_Coffee_When_You_Care_Enough_To_Drink_The_Very_Best.html Wed, 09 May 2007 08:37:20 GMT
