The Camellia Sinensis Plant
Whether it is a robust black tea or a delicate white tea, it all begins with the same plant. The difference lies entirely in the manufacturing process.
Oxidation is Key
Black tea is fully oxidized, which turns the leaves brown/black and develops deep, robust flavors. Green tea is unoxidized, retaining its green color and fresh, grassy notes. Oolong is semi-oxidized, offering a complex middle ground.
