Green tea like regular black tea comes from leaves of the Camellia Sinensis plant. Unlike black tea, green tea leaves are steamed, or baked, shortly after plucking. Black tea is oxidized, often referred to as "fermenting," after plucking. Because green tea is not fermented, the finished leaves are very similar to the natural leaves from a tea bush. An average cup (6 oz) of green tea contains approximately 30 milligrams of caffeine. This compares to a cup of black tea, which has about 40 milligrams, and a cup of brewed coffee, which has 120 milligrams of caffeine. Taken from http://www.greentea.com/faq.html
An herbal tea, tisane, or ptisan is an herbal infusion other than that made with real (white, yellow, black, oolong, or green) tea (Camellia sinensis) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbal_tea
