Green tea is from the Camellia Sinensis plant, the same plant that gives us white, oolong, and black tea, among others. The difference is in how the tea leaves are oxidized.
Black tea is the most oxidized; green tea is the least. As such, green tea has the highest concentration of antioxidants and many health benefits, including protecting against inflammation, age-related brain changes, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease.
