Green tea is prepared by steaming and pan-frying the Camellia sinensis leaves and then drying them. Green tea is not fermented, so it's able to maintain necessary molecules called polyphenols, which seem to be responsible for many of its benefits. It also contains caffeine. Drinking green tea is linked to a reduced risk of clogged arteries. Drinking green tea might reduce the risk of developing high blood pressure.

These bags may be sealed and filled with tea leaves, or they may be open and empty (thus allowing the tea brewer/drinker to fill it with whole-leaf tea). Many tea bags have a string attached to make removing them from the brewing vessel easier, however, this is not true for all tea bags. Generally, tea bags with a string attached also bear the name of their producer or the type of tea on a small piece of paper at the opposite end of the string from the tea bag itself.
