Tea is primarily made using the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. These leaves undergo various processing methods to produce different types of tea, such as green, black, white, and oolong. The flavor and characteristics of tea can vary significantly based on factors like the growing conditions, processing techniques, and the specific part of the leaf used. Other herbal teas can be made from various plants, flowers, and spices, but traditional tea refers specifically to those derived from the Camellia sinensis. Tea is appreciated worldwide not only for its taste but also for its potential health benefits.
