tea production

Tea production involves several key steps, starting with the cultivation of tea plants, mainly Camellia sinensis. After harvesting the leaves, they are processed through methods like withering, rolling, oxidation, and drying, which determine the type of tea produced—green, black, oolong, or white. The climate, soil, and altitude where the tea is grown significantly influence its flavor and quality. Once processed, tea is packed and shipped worldwide, where it is steeped in hot water to create the beverage enjoyed by millions. Each stage, from cultivation to brewing, plays a crucial role in the tea's ultimate characteristics.
