Ranked as the number one beverage consumed worldwide, tea takes the lead over
coffee in both popularity and production with more than 5 million metric tons of tea
produced annually. Although much of this tea is consumed in Asian, European, and
African countries, the United States drinks its fair share.
According to estimates by the Tea Council of the United States, tea is enjoyed by no less
than half of the U.S. population on any given day. Black tea or green tea – iced, spiced,
or instant – tea drinking has spurred a billion-dollar business with major tea producers in
Africa and South America and throughout Asia.
Tea is made from the leaves of an evergreen plant, Camellia sinensis, which grows tall
and lush in tropical regions. On tea plantation, the plant is kept trimmed to approximately
four feet high and as new buds called flush appear, they are plucked off by hand. Even in
today’s world of modern agricultural machinery, hand harvesting continues to be the
preferred method. Ideally, only the top two leaves and a bud should be picked. This new
growth produces the highest quality tea.
After being harvested, tea leaves are laid out on long drying racks, called withering racks,
for 18 to 20 hours. During this process, the tea softens and becomes limp. Next,
depending on the type of tea being produced, the leaves may be crushed or chopped to
release flavor, and then fermented under controlled conditions of heat and humidity. For
green tea, the whole leaves are often steamed to retain their green color, and the
fermentation process is skipped. Producing black teas requires fermentation during which
the tea leaves begin to darken. After fermentation, black tea is dried in vats to produce its
rich brown or black color.
No one knows when or how tea became popular, but legend has it that tea as a beverage
was discovered in 2737 B.C. by Emperor Shen Nung of China when leaves from a
