Is tea acidic or alkaline?
The tea leaves newly picked from trees are alkaline, and the less the tea leaves are processed, the more alkaline they are. Similarly, the more the leaves are processed, the more acidic they become. So, green tea is more alkaline, while oolong tea is more acidic. This principle can also be applied to other foods; the more foods are processed, the more they are away from nature and therefore more acidic.
