Answer 5

Black tea, or what we commonly think of when someone mentions “tea,” is made from the dried leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, a white-flowered evergreen bush native to China and India. Green, white, flavored and decaffeinated teas are simply Camellia sinensis leaves that have each been processed differently. Tea has high levels of natural plant antioxidants to support good health naturally.



* Black tea leaves are allowed to oxidize as they are being exposed to warm, dry air, causing the leaves to darken and bringing out a full-bodied tea flavor with a reddish-amber hued brew.
