Unflavored and Unscented Loose Leaf Green Teas

Green teas are produced by a process that does not include oxidation, sometimes also referred to as fermentation (in contrast, black teas are oxidized, or exposed to air). Some green teas are steamed initially to kill the leaf (sencha, gyokuro). Most are first withered by simply letting some of the leaves' moisture evaporate, making the leaf pliable. Then the leaves are usually fired in a hot wok to destroy enzymes in the leaf, which prevents the oxidation process from beginning. During firing, the leaves can be shaped in the wok into the desired form, such as the flattened leaves of Dragon Well or the small pellets of gunpowder tea. Some teas are then roasted (hojicha) to produce a toasty flavor.

As a general rule, green teas should be brewed in cooler water than black teas, perhaps 160-180 degrees F. If you don't want to measure the water temperature, just heat your water until steam rises, but does not come to a boil. Some green teas, however, can be quite sensitive to temperature. If you find your green tea tastes bitter, try using cooler water.
