For International Tea Day, my Green Tea Chemistry print. This linocut illustrates green tea and its chemistry. There’s a tea pot, two cups of tea and a tea plant (Camellia sinensis) on a tray, and in the steam, you can see some of the organic chemicals found in green tea. Up to 27% of the composition of green tea can be a member of the flavonoids called catechins like the molecule illustrated on the right. 🧵

A team of researchers performed a complete DNA sequencing of the Hainan tea plant to compare it with the DNA of the other types.
