High Altitude Tea

Teatrition Facts:
Tea that is grown from 1000 meters to 2600 meters above sea level is considered high altitude tea. The higher altitudes force the tea plants to produce tea leaves that are thicker and more resilient than tea grown at lower altitudes. This climate also produces a higher quality tea.

Next time you purchase tea, check to see at what elevation it is grown. You may be surprised at the difference in flavor.

Tea Processing

Teatrition Facts:
The determinant for a type of tea is based on the way in which the tea leaf is processed. For example, green tea is heated immediately after it is picked and then rolled before being heated again. Black tea on the other hand is rolled and withered before the heating process begins. 

This difference in processing techniques give each type of tea its own unique flavor and set of health benefits.
