Tea plants

Tea plants, scientifically known as Camellia sinensis, are evergreen shrubs native to East Asia. They thrive in warm, humid climates and are cultivated for their leaves, which are processed to produce various types of tea, including green, black, and oolong. The flavor and characteristics of tea depend on factors such as the variety of the plant, growing conditions, and processing methods. Tea has been enjoyed for centuries not only for its refreshing taste but also for its potential health benefits, rich in antioxidants and other compounds. Its cultural significance and diverse forms make it a global beverage staple.
