Facts About Tea

· All types of tea come from the “Camellia” plant. However the climate, soil conditions, altitude, and how the tea is processed, is what determines flavor of the tea.

· The Camellia plant was first cultivated in China and was later found growing wild in India.

· Withering, Firing, Oxidation, Grading/Sorting, and Packing are the four steps in manufacturing tea.

· Roots, stems, flowers and parts of plants are used to make herbal tea. Herbal tea does not come from the leaves of a tea plant, therefore, is not considered to be "tea".

· White tea, the rarest type of tea, comes from young tea leaves that are picked before the buds have fully opened.

· Approximately 40% of the nation's fluid intake today will be tea.

· According to the Tea Council of Canada, Canadians drink over 7 billion cups of tea each year. They also report that 9 out of 10 Canadians drink tea.
