    SUBMITTED TO DR. SMRITI GAUR

    INTRODUCTION

     Tea is a refreshing and aromatic drink made steeping the leaves of Camellia sinensis in
    hot water.
     Believed to have been discovered in 2737 BCE by Chinese sage/emperor Shennung .
     Tea is the second most consumed beverage in the world after water.
      Tea contains 13-18% tan­nin, 2-5% theine and a volatile oil.
     There are two main varieties ;- bohea (Chinese tea) and assamica (Indian, i.e., Assam
    tea).
    HISTROY
     The story of tea begins in China.
     According to legend, in 2737 BC, the Chinese emperor Shen Nung was sitting beneath
    a tree while his servant boiled drinking water, when some leaves from the tree blew
    into the water.
     Shen Nung, a renowned herbalist, decided to try the infusion that his servant had
    accidentally created.
     The tree was a Camellia sinensis, and the resulting drink was what we now call tea.
    TYPES OF TEA
    1.BLACK TEA

     Black tea, or red tea in China, is one of the most popular tea flavors and is fully oxidized. The leaves of
    the Camellia sinensis plant are withered, rolled, oxidized / fermented, and dried or fired to produce a
    strong, full-bodied flavor.

    2. GREEN TEA

     Green tea is the most popular tea globally, is unoxidized, and has less caffeine than black tea Camellia
    sinensis leaves are picked, dried, and heat-treated to prevent oxidation
    3 . WHITE TEA
     Made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant in only the Fujian province, white
    tea varieties are the least processed of all teas. The leaves are simply left to wither and
    dry on their own, which gives them a very delicate, naturally sweet, and well-rounded
    flavor. It has very little caffeine.

    4. HERBAL TEA

     Herbal tea doesn't come from tea leaves like other varieties. It's made from dried herbs,
    fruits, and flowers, which can create a wide range of delicate flavors. These tea types
    are caffeine free, making them ideal for customers with dietary restrictions
    5. ROOIBOS TEA

     Rooibos tea, or African Red Tea, is an herbal tea that comes from the South African
    Red Bush, and the leaves are ground and bruised before they're fermented and dried.
    Green rooibos tea doesn't go through an oxidation / fermentation process and has a
    lighter flavor.

    6. OOLONG TEA
     Oolong, or wulong, tea is semi-oxidized and picked later in the season than green tea.
    The leaves come from the Camellia sinensis plant but are bruised by being tossed or
    shaken in baskets, which changes the oxidation process
    PROCESSING
    PRODUCTION
    PRODUCTION IN DIFFERENT
    COUNTRIES
    STATEWISE PRODUCTION IN INDIA
    QUALITY CONTROL

    The major quality parameters that are tested in made tea include :-
     Theaflavins (TF),
     Thearubigins (TR),
     High polymerized substances (HPS)
     Total liquor color (TLC)
     Total soluble solids (Water extract).
    CLIMATIC CONDITIONS SND MICROBE
    INVOLVE
     Tea grows in a moderately hot and humid climate, which is preferred for better yield,
    crop distribution and quality.
     An ambient temperature within 13°C and 28-32°C is conducive for growth of tea.
     In India, the temperature in winters is around or below 12°C and there is hardly any
    growth during this period.
     Bacillus subtilius , P. corrugate , B. lichenforms , B. cereus etc.
    PRESERVATION

    1. The easiest way – store in the fridge: put the tea in the sealed container, which is dry
    and has no odor, in the frozen room. .
    2. The most common way – store in the cans: put the tea into the can with double covers.
    It is better to fill the whole can without leaving any space.
    3. The most convenient way – store in the plastic bags: put the tea inside the plastic bags,
    push the air out, seal the bag, then tie the bag up, frozen in the fridge.
    4. Most practical way – store in the thermos bottle: put the tea inside the dried thermos
    bottle, sealed with the white wax and tape.
