Tea is grown in bushes, but only the top leaves are picked/cut from the bush by a special machine. Then the tea goes through a process to make it the type of tea that you find on the shelves. Because of the way tea is harvested the actual bush it comes from can be thousands of years old.

May you please suggest other medicinal plants that can be made into black or green or white tea?
The beverage we have commonly come to call tea is the result of steeping the leaves of the tea tree (Camelia sinensis) in boiling water. All teas are from this common plant, it is the manner in which it is harvested and processed for market that makes the different kinds of tea. Green - freshly picked tea leaves are streamed, rolled on mats and heated. Steaming makes the leaves pliable and de-activates the enzymes that cause fermentation. Rolling releases the flavours and heating stabilises the tea. Black - Fermentation is what make black tea black, gives it strength and richness. The leaves are placed in a warm moist room were they wilt and ferment, they are then rolled and eventually fired. The firing stops the fermentation process and keeps the tea from spoiling. Oolong - is semi-fermented, causing the tea to be stronger than green tea but more delicately flavoured than the black tea. White - is the very young buds of the Asian tea cultivar known as "Silver Tips", harvested and blended with longer leaves and a touch of apricot flavour, designed to appeal to a wider consumership. Although there are many herbal teas out there, none of them could be truly called a black, green or white "tea".
