Where Does Tea Come From?
You may enjoy a cup of tea most days and you are one of many people around the world who join you and it is one of the most popular drinks in the world and for thousands of years it has been claimed it has health benefits.
There are two types of tea product you are likely to see in stores both as a sealed packet containing loose tea leaves or ready prepared in tea bags which keep all the tea leaves confined together.. To prepare a cup of tea the leaves or tea bags should be steeped in boiling water for a few seconds or up to a minute or two the length of time being the deciding factor for how strong the tea tastes.
The tea may be processed in a variety of ways and it is this and the type of tea which gives each tea their distinctly different tastes but it is also dependant on the specific variety of tea plant grown and the area of the world where it was cultivated.
There are several regions in Asia that have traditionally been the place where tea has been grown and the reasons are clear since the weather is perfectly suited to the tea plants requirements of warm yet rainy weather combined with the other requirement of the tea plant which is higher altitudes and hill country.
China continues to be a huge supplier of tea to the world and they were the people who introduced tea to the world but as tea becomes ever more popular other countries around the world eager to grow tea plants to provide work and profits for their people who live in regions suitable for cultivation.
To classify which type of tea is which the type of process used decides and four distinctive types of true teas are the green, black, white, and oolong
but flavors will vary depending on where in the world the tea was grown and which variety of tea plants was used.
To produce the tea leaves we all know a selection of whole tea leaves from a specific region will be selected
and oxidization is begun to process the leaves and the eventual tea produced will be decided by the amount of oxidization used.
You will see many types of tea in the stores but there are really only four types of tea available and for the least amount of oxidation try white tea with green tea coming next on the list.
The last of the four are the oolong tea but if you are looking for the highest levels of oxidization go for the black, which is also known as red, this being the last of our different types of tea which tea suppliers use to blend together and produce their different brands of tea.
