Do you know how Chinese tea is produced?

Green tea, yellow tea, black tea etc. all originate from the same plant (Camellia sinensis); the differences in a tea's characteristics come from the processing.

The quality, aroma and taste of the tea depends largely on the soil in which it is grown, the water which helps it grow, and the skill and experience of those who pick and process the tea leaves.

Though the processing of the tea leaves at each facility may be as individual as the processing of the grapes at each vineyard to make wine, there are several key processes which are common to all.

To find out more, please look at the Chinese Tea Processing page provided by Chinese Tea for You.
