Green Tea

The leaf marked as 2 is taken for making green tea.This leaf has the second most medicinal value. Most of us dont know that drinking green tea in morning with bare stomach is not good for health, because it contains some anti bacterial elements which kills natural bacteria s in stomach. For the preparation of green and white tea, we should put tea powder and switch off fire just before bubbles come from boiling water.

This tea contains least medicinal value and third leaf is used for its production. In the picture it is marked as no. 3. There are two types of black tea. Orthodox and CTC tea. They differ in the method of production.
CTC abbreviated for Crushing, Tearing, Curling. First leaf is crushed in machine and then teared and after that curled so that water is again absorbed by leaf itself.
