Delicate, fresh-tasting green tea has become popular in Eastern society and is still the basis of tea culture today. As tea culture spread and tea was processed for export to trade beyond regions, neighboring countries, and eventually across the oceans, it was found that more oxidized black tea would retain its freshness and flavor better on long journeys than minimally oxidized green tea.
The production of black tea takes place mainly in India. It is good to know that black tea compared to green tea contains a greater amount of theine. It therefore has stronger effects on our body with regard to this substance. Black Tea is definitely the most popular variety of tea in the world and has really fantastic properties, so much so that drinking this tea several times during the day can help maintain good overall body health.
To understand what makes black black tea and green tea green tea, it is important to know that all tea comes from the exact same plant-Camellia sinensis. It is the variety of the tea plant and how the leaves of the plant are processed that define whether a tea turns black or green.
- Camellia sinensis assamica is a larger leaf variety of the tea plant that is typically used to make black tea. Native to the Indian district of Assam, it grows in warm and humid climates and is prolific in subtropical forests.
- Camellia sinensis is a smaller leafy variety native to China that is typically used to make green and white teas. It evolved as a shrub that grows in sunny regions with drier and cooler climates. It lives in mountainous regions because it has a high tolerance to cold.
Hundreds of crops and hybrid plants have evolved from these varieties of Camellia sinensis plants over time. But technically any type of white, green, yellow, oolong, black or pu-erh tea can be made from the leaves of any Camellia sinensis plant.
