All tea comes from the Camelia sinensis plant. Based on the method of production, teas can be divided into three categories: black, oolong and green. Green tea is an unfermented tea. After withering (if withered at all), the leaves are immediately pan-fired, steamed or baked to prevent oxidation, thus no chemical change. The leaves are then rolled and dried. Rich in polyphenols antioxidants, green tea has been a major focus of nutrition research linking green tea consumption with lower rates of cancer and heart disease.

Black tea is withered, fully oxidized (fermented) and dried. Black teas are available from various estates, countries and regions, with added flavourings and also as specialty blends.
