INDIAN GEOGRAPHY

Detailed explanation-1: -Tea is an aromatic beverage prepared by pouring hot or boiling water over cured or fresh leaves of Camellia sinensis, an evergreen shrub native to East Asia which probably originated in the borderlands of southwestern China and northern Myanmar. Tea is also rarely made from the leaves of Camellia taliensis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Green, white, oolong and black tea are all produced from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, an evergreen shrub; what’s different is what happens after harvest. The first part of the process is the same across all types of tea.

Detailed explanation-3: -Tea leaves are harvested from the tea plant and then transported to a nearby tea factory for production. During the harvest, leaves are only plucked from the top one to two inches of the tea plant. Known as flushes, these tea leaves are produced every 7 to 15 days during harvest season (1).

Detailed explanation-4: -All tea is made from the same plant. Yes, you read right, all tea, whether it’s black, oolong, green, white, or pu-erh, comes from the Camellia sinensis plant in the same way that all wine comes from the grape, albeit different varietals.

Detailed explanation-5: -A plant called Camellia sinensis produces the leaves and buds that are commonly known as tea – the most common beverage consumed in the world, second only to water.
