which grows primarily in China and other East Asian countries and has a milder, mellower character, and camellia sinensis var. assamica, which grows primarily in India and is generally thinner and more robust.+
Tea processing
Black tea, green tea, white tea, oolong tea, pu-erh tea, and purple tea are all made from the same plant. Each of these teas gains its unique characteristics through different harvesting and processing methods. Some teas are steamed, and some are pan-fired.+

Some are allowed to oxidize and some aren’t. Some tea leaves are hand-formed into tightly rolled balls, while other tea leaves are roughly chopped, or left to air-dry in their natural shape.+
Some teas are harvested in the first weeks of the spring season, while others are harvested in the summer and fall.+
