I've been hearing a lot about the benefits of drinking green tea. What is it?

Green tea is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, which are dried and then steamed or pan-fired to stop the oxidation process. This results in a lighter color and a more delicate flavor than black tea. Green tea contains antioxidants that have been linked to health benefits such as improved heart health, reduced risk of certain cancers, improved brain function, and better skin health.
