Of the six types of tea (black, green, white, yellow, oolong, and black), black tea is the most produced and consumed, accounting for about 75% of global tea consumption. Black tea does not grow naturally, but is made from green tea. The processing steps for black tea are very different from other teas and include picking, withering, rolling, fermentation and drying.
