There are different kinds of Tea all produced from the same plant called Camellia sinensis. 

White Tea, Black Tea, Green Tea, Oolong Tea, Herbal Tea and so on. The procedure of making 

them differentiates from one another. Black tea is very popular in Asian countries and in the 

countries of West. With the caffeine as the main ingredient, Black Tea has many health hazards 

as well. Black Tea is the most oxidized form of leaves and the Green Tea is the least oxidized. 

Both Green Tea and Black Tea come from the same shrub, however, it is the way you process the 

leaves that makes the difference.
