More Than Just a Sip: The World’s Most Flavorful Teas and Their Origins, Teas Lover Must Try It. AI-Generated.
All Tea Comes from One Plant Surprisingly, almost all the teas we drink today — black, green, white, oolong — come from the same plant: Camellia sinensis. What makes them different is how the leaves are treated after they’re harvested. For example, black tea is fully oxidized, which gives it that bold, dark taste. Green tea is steamed or pan-fired right after plucking to prevent oxidation, giving it a lighter, more refreshing flavor. White tea is the least processed and comes from young buds, making it the most delicate in both color and taste.
