Green Tea Extract - 90 Veggie Capsules
Green tea is made from the dried leaves of Camellia sinensis, a perennial evergreen shrub. Green tea, black tea, and oolong tea are all derived from the same plant. According to secondary sources, green tea is produced by lightly steaming the freshly cut leaf, thus not allowing oxidation of the enzymes within the leaf to take place.
