DESCRIPTION
Camellia sinensis, commonly known as the tea tree, is a fascinating plant with a rich history and a wide range of uses. This evergreen shrub is the source of the popular beverage known as tea.

Each type of tea undergoes specific processing techniques that result in unique flavors and characteristics.
