CAMELLIA SINESIS,
the tea plant, is indigenous to both China and parts of India. Wild tea plants can grow 90 feet and above. In the past monkeys were trained to pick tea leaves and throw them down where they were collected. Today tea plants are cultivated as a plantation crop and therefore the plants are kept to a height of about three feet , for easy picking.           

TEA CATEGORIES
The three main categories of tea are black, green, and oolong. Within each of these categories there are many varieties. Green teas, Black teas and Oolong teas come from the same tea plant species, the difference being the processing of tea Black tea undergo several hours of oxidation during preparation (accelerated by heat and humidity) Oolong tea is partially fermented and green tea is steamed to stop oxidation

HISTORY
It was during Chinas' Tang Dynasty[6816-906B.C.] that tea became the national beverage of choice. Buddhist priests are thought to have been responsible for spreading the cultivation of tea throughout China and Japan
