  • Serendipitea - All Tea Comes From One Plant
All Tea comes from ONE plant Camellia Sinensis ALL tea is withered. Withering is moisture eva porati ng from the leaf. White tea is picked, withered & bake dried. Green tea is picked then steamed to neutralize active enzymes. After steaming, the leaf is withered then manipulated to achieve the desired leaf finish, then steamed again or pan fired. Oolong tea is basket tossed after withering. There is no steaming, as the enzymes need to remain active. Basket tossing bruises the edges & exposes the leaf’s enzymes to oxygen initiating oxidation. Oxidation is the process that results in the flavour profiles of Oolong & Black tea. After PARTIAL oxidation occurs, between 15% to 75%, the leaf is then pan fired. Black tea is roll broken after withering; there is no steaming as the enzymes need to remain active. Roll breaking cracks the surface of the leaf exposing the leaf’s enzymes to oxygen initiating oxidation. Oxidation is the process that results in the flavour profiles of Oolong & Black tea. After FULL oxidation occurs, the leaf is then finished with forced hot air Pu-erh can be made from Black or Green tea. Moisture is introduced to the dry, finished leaf to encourage decomposition over time. Pu-erh was traditionally aged in caves, although now it is usually buried underground. Aging is desirable as is the earthy aroma, fragrance and taste. TISANES are not TEA (camellia sinensis), nor do they contain tea (camellia sinensis). Tisanes contain herbs, spices or fruit to create their flavour profiles. Most Tisanes are caffeine free, that is no caffeine - naturally!
