Green Tea is know for it's health properties, uplifting refreshment and delightful flavor. Premium green teas are made from hand picked tea leaves with a special emphasis on collecting the young tender tips, or buds, of the tea plant. This is why many teas refer to the tips.

The names of famous green teas are exotic and geographical. Dragonwell, Monkey picked and Anhui are name one might hear in a conversation about quality green tea. The names are just another thing to love about green tea - Bi Luo Chun tea is a great example. This name translates to "Green Conch Spring" to describe it's shape and when it's picked. But the original name was more like "scarily fragrant" and refers to a story of a young tea picker putting a special tea she finds between her breasts because her basket too full to carry more. I can just see the teas salesman in his shop.

"Why is this tea so special?"

"You see, this tea is picked by the virgins of Dong Ting, early in the Spring when all things are fresh and lovely. They carry it home in their breasts and this is why it has the floral smell. You will like this tea - it will remind you of sweet things."

Drinking green tea make you feel great. If not just for the cheery flavor, drinking green tea is reveled for it's health properties. Some people even drink green tea as a diet tea.
