What is green tea?
All true teas - white, green, oolong, black and pu-erh - are from the Camillia Sinensis plant. Green tea is produced when the leaves are very slightly oxidized which allows the leaves to retain a larger quantity of ECGCs than black or oolong tea.

What are ECGCs?
Epigallocatechin (ECGC) is one of several naturally occurring catechins found in Camillia Sinensis. The catechins are powerful anti-oxidants attributed to a variety of health benefits and ECGC appears to be one of the most powerful. All teas have ECGC, but the less oxidized leaves will have more ECGC retained. White and Green teas are oxidized very minimally. Oolong or Wu-long teas range in the oxidation from very light to dark, almost black Oolongs. Black tea is the most oxidized but all are from the same plant and its varietals.

I noticed that some of your teas contain malic acid? That sounds like a chemical to me.
Malic Acid is used as a pH stabilizer in a few of our tea varieties. It is a naturally occurring acid found in apples and other fruits.

Why the amber-colored bottles?
All Papa's T and Bangkok Blast products are bottled and delivered to you in amber-colored PET plastic bottles to help preserve the delicate tea and juice blends from the effects of light.
