How Green Tea and Black Tea are Made?

Both Green and Black tea are made from the leaves of Plant Camillia Senensis. They both have same composition of minerals and nutrients. The only difference between the two is that the black Tea is dried and fermented to intensify its flavor and color. This is the reason why milk turns brown when we add black tea in it.
Whereas, while manufacturing the Green Tea, the leaves of the Plant ‘Camillia Senensis’ are pan-fried to prevent fermentation. This process is the reason why the Green Tea does not have color. The level of oxidation decides the type of the tea, its color and intensity.
