When the word tea is mention what comes to mind? Black Tea? Green Tea? Oolong Tea? Herbal Tea? Medicinal Tea? All green, black and oolong teas come from thea sinensis, an evergreen shrub. The kind of tea produced is defined by the method in which the leaves are processed. Green tea is the first tender leaves of spring that are picked, partially dried, rolled, steamed, crushed and dried again with hot air. Oolong tea leaves have been allowed to semi ferment for an hour. Black teas are slightly dried, rolled on tile and fermented for 3 hours to strengthen the bouquet and flavor, yet reduce the bitterness. Names like oolong, black or jasmine tea refer to how the tea was processed. Names such as Assam, Darjeeling, or Ceylon refer to the country or region when the tea was grown. Names such as pekoe, orange pekoe refer to the leaf size.
