Tea (Camellia sinensis)

Last Updated: Sep. 6, 2010

Tea (Chinese 茶) is a beverage made from the tea plant, Camellia sinensis. The words for tea in many languages come from the root cha or chai. Tea is usually classified according to its level of oxidation--a process that darkens the leaves and changes the color. Fully oxidized tea is called black tea, unoxidized tea is called green tea (white tea is also unoxidized), and partially oxidized tea is called oolong tea. Another class of tea, pu-erh, is usually considered as a category of its own.

When the word "tea" is used by itself it usually refers to the tea plant. However, the word "tea" is also used together with other terms to describe other drinks made from steeping other plants in water. Teas that do not come from the Camellia sinsensis plant are usually referred to as "herbal teas", "herb teas", or "tisanes".

In most parts of the world, nearly all tea consumed is black tea. Outside of southeast Asia, the term tea is often assumed to mean black tea.
