Green tea the leaves of the tea plant go through only a minimal of fermentation either with steam,which is a traditional Japanese method, or by drying in hot pans in which is a Chinese method. gunpowder tea is a type of green tea each leaf rolled into a small pellet. but done only with tea leaves of very high quality. white tea is made with new growth leaves and no fermentation process. it contains leaves and buds for the tea plant while the other teas contain mostly just the leaves. dried white tea doesn't look green instead a distinctive pale appearance.
