A black tea is completely fermented. The tea grows at high altitudes and is picked and manufactured completely by hand. The plant has black twisted leaves. The picked tea is dried above a fire of coniferous wood until the first moisture has been extracted (fading).

Finally, the tea will smoke in bamboo baskets above glowing embers of dried spruce wood. This will take a few hours and will be monitored carefully.

The Yunnan is a black tea from China. It is grown on the Dongzhai biologic tea plantation in the province of Yunnan. The variety of this tea is a hybrid of Sinensis and Assamica.

A black tea is a fully fermented tea. After the harvest, these leaves are spread out to dry in the air to get rid of most moisture. Once the leaves are flexible enough, they are rolled by hand to release the enzymes for the fermentation process. This is important for a good color and taste of the tea. After this process, the leaves must ferment for several hours. The color of the buds will change into gold and orange during this process. Finally, the leaves are baked in hot air ovens to prevent rotting.

The name derives from the way the leaves appear to bloom as the buds of the first flowers in the spring.

A white tea is an unfermented tea. For the white tea, only the buds and the first two leaves of the tea plant are picked. Once these buds and leaves grow, they must be picked within 48 hours. After this, the leaves are spread out to allow them to dry. This is called fading. This will soften the cell walls of the leaves. Finally the leaves are pressed or steamed and ground in cold and warm rollers. After that process they only need to dry.
