  • How do you pluck tea?

    Once the tea sapling has grown into a mature bush how is the tea plucked? It's tougher than it looks. Which leaves need to be plucked, which have to be left on the bush if it is to survive?

  • How is Tea Made?

    Green Tea...black tea...chai...oolong... white tea... herbal tea... there are so many teas in the universe. How is it all made? Once the leaf is brought to the factory how do you actually make tea? Does green tea come from a green tea bush and black tea from a black tea bush?
