The flavor of Indian Tea by region.

As per the provision of the Tea Act, 1953, tea means the plant Camellia Senensis (L) O. Kuntze and all Tea varieties known commercially as tea made from the leaves of this plant. There are four main varieties of tea produce. All four Tea varieties–green tea, black tea, oolong tea, and white tea are made from the same tea plant, Camellia Senensis (L) O. Kuntze. How the drink ends up depends on how it is processed2 after being picked.
