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.
