Green tea has become all the rage recently for its purported health properties. Unfortunately most people in the U.S. drink their green tea from tea bags full of low quality, ground-up leaves. Ideally green tea should be made from fresh, high-quality whole leaves, especially if one is seeking its health benefits in addition to optimal flavor. The vast majority of green tea comes from Japan and China.
