Chlorophyll from plant leaves is mostly obtained by the green color. They are easily washed to prevent any modifications as tea leaves are harvested.

It turns out that oxidation is the fundamental aspect that separates green tea from other tea varieties.

Chlorophyll is enzymatically decomposed in Camellia Sinensis's leaves, and its tannins are converted throughout this phase.
