Let's 'spill the tea' on tea!
Did you know that all 'teas' originate from the leaves of the Camellia Sinensis plant?
Any 'tea' that is not from this plant is actually an herbal blend!
What makes each tea unique is the creation process it goes through, including:
1. Withering
Letting the teas dry
2. Bruising/Rolling
Crushing the leaves to break the cell wall and release enzymes
3. Oxidization / Fermentation
Enzymes released in the Rolling phase interact with oxygen in the air, resulting in chemical changes
4. Heating
This halts the process of oxidization once the desired levels are achieved
