Information @ a glance
- Camellia sinensis is the tea plant, the
plant species whose leaves and leaf buds are used to produce tea. White tea,
green tea, oolong and black tea are all harvested from this species, but are
processed differently to attain different levels of oxidation.
- The beverage Green tea is a "true" tea
(i.e., Camellia sinensis) that has undergone minimal oxidation during
processing. Green tea is popular in Morocco, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan,
Korea, and the Middle East. Recently it has become more widespread in the
West, where traditionally black tea is consumed.
- Green tea is the palest in color, ranging
from light green to light yellow in color. Green tea is not oxidized; the
leaves are steamed or baked immediately after being plucked. They are then
rolled and dried allowing the leaves to remain green in color. Green tea is
made from both new buds as well as young leaves – “pluckers” take ‘two
leaves and a bud’.
- Green tea and green tea extracts, such as
its component EGCG, have been used to prevent and treat a variety of
cancers, including breast, stomach, and skin cancers. It is also used for
improving mental alertness, aiding in weight loss, lowering cholesterol
levels, and protecting skin from sun damage.
- Tea is an evergreen bush that grows in
all soils. It requires a steady climate. Tea bushes grow to a convenient
height for picking; still even today it is intensive labor. Sorting the tea
is determined by many criteria, including the age of the leaf, picking
season, climate, soil type, as well as processing and quality of the blend.
Leaf size indicates quality and strength.
- The production and consumption of tea
worldwide has increased over the past decade, and this increase is expected
to continue, according to Chang and Yabuki. While the tea plant (Camellia
sinensis) grows well in Hawaii, high costs of production have impeded
commercial development of tea as a crop and commodity here.
- Demand for green tea is increasing
world-wide because of interest in its medicinal value. There has been a
large market throughout Asia for the different forms of green tea and it
plays an important role in traditional diets.
- Worldwide tea production in 2001 was over
3 million tons . The greatest production was from China and India, which
generated about half of the total world production. Indonesia, Sri Lanka,
and Kenya together account for another quarter of the total production.
- China harvested nearly twice as much area
as India, and these two countries accounted for 58 percent of the world’s
tea acreage in 2000. India’s average tea yield was nearly 2.4 times larger
than that of China in 2000 , while the average yield for the Asia-Pacific
region as a whole was 60 percent of the average yield for the rest of the
world.
- Tea is cultivated in about 36 countries
all over the world, but production is heavily concentrated in just a
handful. In 2000, five countries (India, China, Sri Lanka, Kenya and
Indonesia) together produced almost 80% of the world’s tea9. While India,
China and Sri Lanka have long dominated world production, the share of the
African countries has increased dramatically over the last two decades.
- Exports of tea during the first half of
2006 increased significantly by 18.8 Mkg reaching 158.5 Mkg from 139.6 Mkg
exported during the corresponding period 2005. Russia is traditionally a tea
drinking country and most Russian people starts the day with a cup of tea
rather than coffee or juice.
