Both are prepared from the same leaves only. Black tea is allowed 30 minutes for fermentation or oxidation process. At that time a natural proteolytic enzyme will become an another enzyme which cause black colour. In green tea, after harvesting immediately it is dried and packed. The allergy may be due to the particular enzyme. Are u satisfied?

Black, green and red teas derive their leaves from a warm-weather evergreen tree known as Camellia sinensis. The leaves from this tree contains polyphenols. Herbal tea is not derived from this leaf and so does not have this particular health-promoting properties. Indeed, most herbal teas in the market are NOT tea at all. They are only infusions made with herbs, flowers, roots, spices or other parts of some plants. The proper term for this type of beverage is "tisane". Therefore, read the labels properly. Although tisane does not contain as much polyphenols, it does promote other various health qualities such as relaxation and calming effects. another plus about herbal tea is that you can even use your own spices to make tea you dont have to go to the store and buy fancy tea bags i love making cinnamon tea or all spice tea!!! and remember guys NO sugar in your tea INSTEAD put honey in the tea honey is better for you and your body digest it better/ faster!!!

Yes it is the same plant only difference is black tea leaves are oxidised and thus the colour from green leaves turn to black but for the green tea the leaves are not oxidised thus they remain green in colour.

From what I understand green tea is unfermented in comparison to its black tea brothers. But don't take my word for it. Look at the site below.
