What are the benefits of green tea? The health-conscious might also enjoy white tea, believed by many to have even more powerful anti-ageing properties than green tea. There is so much more to green tea than meets the eye. The most famous Chinese green teas are hand pressed against a hot wok like Dragon Well Green Tea, whilst in Japan the best teas are hand rolled and steamed – Gyokuro or ‘Jade Dew’ green tea is the most highly desired type of this tea. Don’t over-steep the tea leaves – green tea only needs 2-3 minutes maximum to brew.
