Black Tea comes from the black tea varietals and is fully fermented. In China, black tea is commonly referred to as red tea. This is not to be confused with Rooibos, an increasingly popular South African tisane. The Chinese call Black Tea “Red Tea” because the actual tea liquid is red. Westerners call it black tea because the tea leaves used to brew it are usually black. However, red tea may also refer to Rooibos, an increasingly popular South African tisane.

Matcha is the oldest variety of shade-grown Japanese green tea, traditionally used in Zen Buddhist ceremonies for over 800 years. Ground into a fine, jade-green powder using granite grinding wheels, Matcha is whisked with water to create a unique, beautiful and richly flavourful drink.
Four weeks before the annual harvest, the tea plantations of the famed Nishio region are covered with tarp shading, eliminating up to 90% of the natural light. The tea plants compensate for this loss of light by increasing chlorophyll content in their leaves. Only the best hand-picked tea leaves are then steamed, dried and cut to remove veins and stems. |

Coffee was introduced in Brazil by Francisco de Mello Palheta in 1727 from Cayenne, French Guiana. Today, Brazil is the world’s largest coffee producer and is becoming a significant player in the specialty coffee industry. Bourbon, Typica, Caturra, and Mundo Novo coffee varietals are grown in the states of Paraná, Espirito Santos, São Paulo, Minas Gerais, and Bahia.

Clearly, it is extremely misleading to say “Every tea comes from the same plant the camellia sinensis, and depending on how one processes the leaves will determine if it will be green, oolong, black or white tea.” This overly simplified definition of tea is the biggest myth in the Western tea industry. |
It takes more than processing methods to determine the different types of tea. Some tea varietals are destined to become green and some destined to be white regardless of the processing method used.
Two principal varieties are used, the small-leaved China plant (C. sinensis sinensis) which all sub varieties of Chinese teas are based and the large-leaved Assam plant (C. sinensis assamica ) which all Indian, Sri Lanka and Assam black teas are based.
White, green, oolong and black teas are actually varietals of teas. The different processing methods together with the specific varietals will determine its final style of tea—being black, oolong, green and white.
