"The difference between Black, Green, and Oolong tea is a result of the changes that occur during processing of the tea leaves. They are all made from the same type of tea leaves.
-Black teas are fermented, left in a cool, dark, and damp place for a time, and then heated to stop the fermentation process.
-Oolong teas are semi-fermented.
-Green teas are heated after picking…so there is no fermenting process."

Yes, that perfect cup of tea is truly steeped in history and tradition. The Emperor of China was the first to enjoy the beverage created by steeping leaves from the herb Camelia Simensis plant nearly 5000 years ago. In colonial days, tea leaves were boiled at length to create a very bitter brew. This concoction of leaves that had been severely overcooked was then salted, buttered, and eaten.
Today tea is the world’s second most popular beverage consumed, second only to water. It’s easy to make, affordable, and offers variety in its flavors and aroma. Americans drink 50 billion cups of tea each year, 40 billion of which are served as iced tea.
