It's a really interesting tea! I love how she made the puerh connection that I already had in my mind when I tasted it.

Hi Nicole. I have a question about green tea. Most Indian green tea brand have this green tea that on brewing doesn't actually look green, but they have a brownish color. I wanted to know why is that, and if those are not authentic green tea. I have seen on the internet the green teas that are very frankly bright green, but any green tea I buy turn out to be brown. Is that harmful and fake? Could you also please suggest any good green tea brands that you know of that will brew authentic green tea if possible?

[@teaformeplease]

I wouldn't say that the tea you have is fake or harmful. It's important to keep in mind that India is primarily a black tea-producing region. Other categories are fairly new, or even experimental, for the tea makers there. This means that processing methods might not be as well defined as what you might find in a place known for green tea, like Long Jing in China.
Most green teas do not produce a green-colored infusion. They tend to be more yellow or brown. In my experience, the only ones that do look really green are Japanese green teas such as sencha or gyokuro. It is because the leaves are steamed during processing.
If you would like to find good quality green tea in India, I highly recommend anything made by Gopaldhara Tea.
