Growing Green Tea is a long process that includes growing tea bushes and growing the tea leaves. After the leaves are picked it goes through a stage called “crude tea”, which refers to the process of the halting of oxidizing enzymes, the prevention of fermentation, and completely dried out. It may then go through another finishing process to make it into tea leaves or an ingredient for beverages.
