Black tea is produced by oxidizing the leaf of the plant Camellia

production makes it different from the other varieties of tea such as
green tea and oolong tea.

tea in Darjeeling and Assam. Now, there are a variety of black teas
that are grown in China and in India but in India black tea is grown
from Camellia assamica.
