Tea plants are nothing different , they are just plants from which we get tea leaves to prepare tea. these plants usually grow in hilly areas like ooty, Assam etc. Assam is the best known place for its tea plants. It is known world wide for its tea plants. these plants are grown till the height of at least 1 feet and then are cut down to get tea leaves. If these grow more than 1 or 1and a half feet, these loose their fragrance and are useless then.
The tea plant, although tea can be made out of many other plants.
Tea leaves
camomile tea is an herbal tea made from the camomile plant.
No. Tea (the beverage) is made from the Camellia sinensisplant. Tea tree oil is made from a completely unrelated plant, Melaleuca alternifolia.There is an oil made from the tea plant, but it is made from the seeds of the plant, not the leaf. This oil is called "tea oil" and is not the same as tea tree oil.
leaves
No; all tea is made from the same plant, and only preparation/oxidation distinguishes between them. White tea is least oxidized; black tea the most; green is in-between.
They are called 'tea plants' or Camellia sinensis
Red bush, or Rooibos, is a plant which grows exclusively in southern Africa. While it is used to make herbal tea, it is completely unrelated the Camellia Sinensis, the plant used to make real tea.
it depends what type of tea..... white tea is made from tea leaves
the leaves
An infusion is a any drink prepared by steeping a part of a plant in a hot liquid, usually water. Tea -the drink- is a type of infusion made using the leaves from the tea plant. Other plants such as chamomile are also prepared as an infusion but are not tea because they don't come from the tea plant.
The hot water takes all the "juices" out of the plant and the bag is there so the ground plant doesn't get in your tea.
