FAUCHON's answers to your questions

Black tea, a delicious beverage, is made from the leaves of the tea plant, Camelia sinensis. Several steps are essential to the tea-making process. First of all, the leaves are carefully plucked by hand or mechanically, before being withered, which consists of spreading and drying the tea leaves to eliminate the water they contain. The withered leaves are then rolled and exposed to the air to begin oxidation (also known as fermentation). The leaves are then heated to stop oxidation, and dried to remove any residual moisture. Finally sorted, they are ready to be enjoyed.

Black tea and green tea both come from the same plant, Camellia sinensis. The main difference lies in the processing mechanism, notably the oxidation stage. Black tea is darker, as it is oxidized to its fullest for a more robust taste. Green tea, on the other hand, is heated to prevent oxidation and preserve its fresh taste and soft green color.

Green tea is known for its antioxidant and stimulating properties, contributing to overall well-being. Its regular consumption can support the immune system, help concentration and digestion, and promote a feeling of relaxation.
