The 5,000-year-old habit

Tea is made from the leaves of the tree Camellia sinensis. Although the tree can grow to over 30ft, they are usually pruned to remain like a bush so that leaves can be harvested more easily.

There are several ways of classifying tea, including by the country or area of origin, such as China, Ceylon, Assam or Darjeeling. However, the most important distinction is by manufacturing process. This divides tea into three types:

• Black tea
• Green tea
• Oolong tea
