A black tea is a fully fermented tea. The plant has brown-black leaves with some golden tips. Only the bud and first two leaves are picked. After harvesting, the leaves are laid to dry. Once the leaves are flexible enough, they are rolled by hand professionally, without breaking. That is why this tea is called Gongfu, which stands for skill. After the rolling, the tea must oxidize for several hours. Finally, the tea is fired in a hot air oven to prevent rotting.

A green tea is an unfermented tea. For this green tea only the buds and upper leaves of the tea plant are used. These leaves can be picked several times per season, but each picking will be different because of the weather influences. After picking and fading the leaves, they are steamed or cooked to prevent oxidation or fermentation and to preserve the green color. After this, the leaves are pulled through a roller to break. After this process they still need to dry.

A black tea is completely fermented. The tea grows at high altitude and is picked by hand. It is manufactured with the machine. The picked tea is dried above a fire of coniferous wood for fading, until the first moisture is extracted. After this process the leaves are rolled and put in barrels, which are covered with rags for the fermentation process. Then the leaves are cooked and rolled again. 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.
