Why Is Green Tea Not Green in Taiwan?

Red or brown? Most green teas I’ve had here is light yellowish with a tint of green.

The red or brown color of tea comes from the fermentation process, and green tea is supposed to be not fermented at all.

If they are to be really green, and opaque, it’s either that they put tea leaf powder in the tea (mocha) or they used coloring.
