The manner of cultivating, harvesting and processing tea impacts its character. Teas from the same plantation can taste different depending on how much it has been oxidised or whether it has been oxidised using the Orthodox process or CTC (Crush, Tear, and Curl). In the former, whole tea leaves are rolled and laid out for several hours to let the oxidation process to start. In the CTC process, tea leaves are passed through the rollers of a CTC machine which results in smaller leaf particles that usually have more body than Orthodox tea.
Did you know that Green Tea leaves do not undergo any oxidisation while Black Tea is a fully oxidised tea that gives a dark and robust brew? White Tea, on the other hand, is partially oxidised, but it is dried under natural sunlight. Then there is Yellow Tea that is partially oxidised and is dried more slowly. Chinese Pu-Erh Tea is the only tea that is both oxidised and fermented. It is allowed to mature for a couple of years and is usually sold in brick or cake form!
