Default Ceylon green tea

I think the most interesting thing about Ceylon greens, you can taste
the green before it becomes black. That is hard to do anywhere else
because all you get to taste is the oolong or black. You can find
specific cases in China like a light roast TGY versus dark roast. Ive
tasted Yunnan green and recently a white before it becomes red. Id
still like to know if I can taste the difference in fresh leaf. Nigel
says no. I disagree with him on that also.
