6-10. Read the following passage care fully and answer the given questions.
While tea as a category has stopped growing, green tea is bucking the trend. Judging by the numbers, it could be the latest health-food craze of Indians, right up there with cold pressed oils and millets.
Vikram Grover, VP and marketing head with Tata Global Beverages, which owns tea brand Tetley, says that the green tea category has been growing at around 60% year-on-year compared with black tea that is growing at around 2%. “It has become an aspirational drink for young urban Indians whose food habits are not under control,” he says.
Green tea is essentially normal tea that is not put through the oxidization process to keep its enzymes intact. Nutritionists tout it as an elixir for people with hectic lifestyles. For instance, medical research points out that green tea helps people lose weight and aids in digestion on top of having a positive effect on heart ailments and type-two diabetes.”It’s a fad, but a good fad. At least, it has great health benefits. From gym goers to corporate executives, everyone carries a green tea sachet these days.
However, palatability is a big factor. Green tea’s natural harsh taste has made tea brands like Lipton and Tetley look for new flavours. “We have taken a lot of effort to mask the alien taste of green tea. Two of our best-selling variants are honey and lemon and aloe vera,” says Grover of Tetley.
Unlike black tea, whose superiority can be judged on the basis of its strength, aroma and flavours, good green tea is supposed to taste harsh and its coarse taste is due to the preserved enzymes in the leaves.
6 Why is good green tea supposed to be harsh in taste?
A. Because its green leaves consist of preserved enzymes.
B. Because its green leaves are put through the oxidisation process.
