Then dried again so that the oxidation process stops. Black tea contains fewer anti-oxidants than green and white tea. The best water temperature to make black tea is 95ºC, draw 3-4 minutes

Green tea from DE GRAAFF is a non-fermented tea. After harvesting, the leaves are briefly heated, causing them to dry. Green tea contains tannic acid, vitamins and anti-oxidants. The best water temperature to make green tea is  70-80ºC, leave for 3-5 minutes
