Description

Tea shoots are the young leaves of the tea plant "Camellia sinensis" that have not yet fully opened, often picked before the leaves are fully developed. These shoots have a softer quality and a more subtle flavor than older tea leaves, making them highly prized in making premium teas. Tea shoots are commonly used in the production of various types of tea, including green tea, black tea, and white tea, each of which has a different processing method. Tea produced from tea shoots tends to have a lighter, fresher, more aromatic taste, and is rich in antioxidants that are beneficial for health.

Additionally, tea shoots contain moderate amounts of caffeine which can provide a refreshing effect and increase alertness. With health benefits that include increased metabolism, detoxification, and protection of body cells, tea shoots are a highly valued ingredient in the tea and health beverage industry.
