Tea cultivation is the process of growing the Camellia sinensis plant, which is the source of all tea varieties, including green tea, black tea, and oolong tea. This plant thrives in warm, humid climates with well-drained soil. Farmers carefully tend to the tea bushes, pruning them to encourage new growth and ensuring they receive adequate sunlight and water. Once the leaves are harvested, they undergo various processing methods to create different types of tea. For instance, green tea leaves are quickly steamed or pan-fired to preserve their green color, while black tea leaves are fully oxidized for a richer flavor. Each step in tea cultivation and processing contributes to the unique taste and aroma of the final product.
