Product Details
 
Tea refers to the agricultural products of the leaves, leaf buds, and internodes of the camellia Sinensa plant, prepared and cured by various methods. "Tea" also refers to the aromatic beverage prepared from the cured leaves by combination with hot or boiling water, and is the colloquial name for the Camellia sinensis plant itself. After water tea is the most widely-consumed beverage in the world. It has a cooling, slightly bitter, flavour. The four types of tea most commonly found on the market are Black Tea, Oolong Tea, Green Tea and White Tea all of which can be made from the same bushes, processed differently, and in the case of fine white tea, grown differently. Pu-erh Tea a double-fermented black tea, is also often classified as amongst the most popular types of tea. The term "Herbal Tea” usually refers to an infusion or tisane of fruit or herbs that contains no Camellia sinensis. The term "red tea" either refers to an infusion made from the South African Rooibos plant, also containing no Camellia sinensis, or, in Chinese, Korean, Japanese and other East Asian languages, refers to black tea.

Tea leaf processing methods (simplified):

Tea is traditionally classified based on the techniques with which it is produced and processed.

• White Tea: Unwilted and unoxidized • Yellow Tea: Unwilted and unoxidized but allowed to yellow
• Green Tea: Wilted and unoxidized • Oolong Tea: Wilted, bruised, and partially oxidized
• Black Tea: Wilted, crushed, and fully oxidized • Post-Fermented Tea: Green Tea that has been allowed to ferment/compost

Almost all teas in bags and most other teas sold in the west are blends. Blending may occur in the tea-planting area (as in the case of Assam), or teas from many areas may be blended. The aim is to obtain better taste, higher price, or both, as a more expensive, better-tasting tea may cover the inferior taste of cheaper varieties.

Some teas are not pure varieties, but have been enhanced through additives or special processing. Tea is highly receptive to inclusion of various aromas; this may cause problems in processing, transportation and storage, but also allows for the design of an almost endless range of scented and flavoured variants, such as Vanilla, Caramel, and many others.
