The commonly consumed tea in the U.S. is Black Tea. Black tea is produced from the Camellia Sinensis plant as are all white, green, and oolong teas. The leaves are withered, hand-plucked, sun-dried briefly, then rolled and tumbled. The tumbling process oxidizes the leaves under strictly controlled conditions, then the leaves are dried to stop the oxidation process. The more oxidized, the darker the tea, and the longer its flavor will last. The quality of the tea arises from the precision with which it is picked and processed, controlling time, temperature, and humidity. Black tea can hold its flavor for years if properly packaged and handled. Research indicates that Black Teas aids in the prevention of cardiovascular disease and stroke.
