Green, Oolong, and Black Tea (processng and chart)

In the below table we have listed the types of fermentation and the major processes involved to make various teas. The non-fermented teas consist of green tea.  The partial fermentation is oolong tea.  Full fermentation is how black tea is made. This classifying and listing by sequence shows the terms for processing of tea.  Below we have expanded the processes.  For the process of “harvesting” we use the raw tea product identified as “fresh leaves”. Primary Tea Processing (no roasting, scenting, or spicing)  -Remember only green, oolong, and black tea are shown.

Primary Tea Processing:  green tea, oolong tea, and black tea.
