Tea processing is the method in which the leaves from the tea plant Camellia sinensis are transformed into dried leaves for brewing tea.
The categories of tea are distinguished by the processing they undergo. In its most general form, tea processing involves different manners and degrees of oxidation of the leaves, stopping the oxidation, forming the tea and drying it.
The innate flavor of the dried tea leaves is determined by the type of cultivar of the tea bush, the quality of the plucked tea leaves, and the manner and quality of the production processing they undergo. After processing, a tea may be blended with other teas or mixed with flavourants to alter the flavor of the final tea. When producing black and oolong teas there is an additional purpose of processing: to encourage oxidization, which further develops flavor and aroma compounds.
Tea is made from the leaves of the Camellia Sinensis plant. The process begins with plucking the leaves by hand. The leaves are then withered to reduce moisture content. Next, the leaves are rolled or twisted to rupture cells and promote oxidation. The leaves then undergo fermentation where enzymes cause oxidation reactions that produce compounds responsible for the color and flavor of black tea. Temperature and humidity are carefully controlled during fermentation. The leaves are then dried and processed into various tea products.
Tea is prepared from the leaf bud and top leaves of the Camellia sinesis bush. It contains about half the caffeine of coffee and aids relaxation while stimulating the nervous system. Tea was discovered over 5,000 years ago when leaves fell in boiling water. Major tea producing countries include India, China, Sri Lanka, East Africa, and Indonesia. Tea should be stored in a dry, covered, well-ventilated container away from odors. The manufacturing process involves withering, rolling, oxidation, and drying. Main types are black, green, and oolong teas.
Read and share with your tea loving friends and staff to spread the love and knowledge of tea. Learn the basic varieties and glean some advanced details about origins and health benefits.
Tea processing transforms freshly plucked tea leaves into dried leaves for brewing tea. There are six main types of tea which are the result of differences in processing, not the plant itself. The basic steps are plucking leaves, withering to remove moisture, disruption to promote oxidation, oxidation to change color and flavor, fixing to stop oxidation, shaping, and drying. Oxidation levels determine the tea type from no oxidation in green tea to full oxidation in black tea. Fermentation through microbial activity is also important for puerh and black teas.

2. The Industry
Ceylon Tea from Sri Lanka, acclaimed as the
best tea in the world has its inherent unique
characteristics and reputation running through
more than a century. The influence of climatic
conditions of its plantations imparts to the
product, a variety of flavours and aromas,
synonymous with quality.
Sri Lanka is renowned for its high quality tea
and as the 3rd biggest tea producing country
globally, has a production share of 9% in the
international sphere. It is one of the world’s
leading exporters with a share of around 23%
of the global demand. The total extent of land
under tea cultivation has been assessed at
approximately 187,309 hectares.
Camellia sinensis
Kingdom : Plantae
Division : Magnoliophyta

Order : Ericales
Family : Theaceae
Genus : Camellia
Species : Camellia sinensis – Tea
3. Production
Sri Lanka produces tea throughout the year
and the total tea production is about 320
million kilograms per annum. The total export
volume reached 100 million kilograms out of
the total production in year 2012. The tea
growing areas are mainly concentrated in the
central highlands and southern inland areas
of the island. They are broadly grouped under
these headings according to their elevations,
with high grown ranging from 1200 m
upwards, medium grown covering between
600 m. to 1200 m. and low grown from sea
level up to 600 m.
Sri Lanka is the world largest producer of
orthodox tea. The pioneer planters in Sri
Lanka had discovered the effect of the diverse
climate on tea production. The discovery has
resulted in manufacturing of an array of fine
teas which like wine are unique to each agro
climatic district in Sri Lanka. Ceylon Tea flavour
and quality, vary with agro climatic conditions
and seasons. The prime regions are Nuwara
Eliya, Dimbula, Uva, Uda Pussellawa, Kandy,
Ruhuna and Sabaragamuwa.
4. Key Products and Varieties
Sri Lanka mainly produces orthodox teas. In the
orthodox process of production, semi dried green
shoots are ruptured by rolling, achieved from a rotary
movement. The rolling process ruptures and twists
the leaves. When tea leaves are crushed an oxidation
process begins, which is followed by firing and
commonly known black tea is produced. Sri Lanka also
produces tea through unorthodox methods, namely
Cut Tear and Curl (CTC), Green tea, Instant tea, Bio tea,
and flavoured tea are also produced in Sri Lanka.
High grown teas from Sri Lanka are reputed for their
taste and aroma. The two types of seasonal tea
produced in these areas Dimbula and Nuwara Eliya
are much sought after by blenders in tea importing
countries.
Tea is exported to many destinations in various
methods such as Tea Packets, Tea Bags, Tea in Bulk,
Instant Tea, Green Tea, Flavoured Tea etc.
5. Specialties associated with Products
Sri Lankan tea recognised as Ceylon Tea in the world is renowned for
its high-quality, aroma and taste. As the third largest tea producer
and perhaps the second largest exporter in the world, Sri Lanka is in
the forefront of tea exports to the world market. This is a position the
country has maintained over the years.
There are three major geographical zones for tea cultivation in the
country and the production of each cultivation has unique features in it.
High/Upcountry: Above 4,000 ft.
• Nuwara Eliya - Delicately fragrant
• Udapussellawa - Exquisitely tangy
• Uva - Exotically aromatic
• Dimbula - Refreshingly mellow
Mid-Country: Between 2,000 - 4,000 ft.
• Kandy - Intensely full-bodied
Low-Country: Below 2,000 ft.
• Sabaragamuwa - Smooth & full-bodied
• Ruhuna - Distinctively unique
Uva teas from Eastern Highlands contain unique seasonal characters
and are widely used in many quality blends particularly in Germany
and Japan.
The medium grown teas provide thick coloury varieties which are
popular in Australia, Europe, Japan and North America.
The teas produced in low grown areas are mainly popular in Western
Asia, Middle Eastern countries and CIS and BRICS countries. Most
factories in these areas produces what is known as a leafy grade of
tea where the tea leaves are well twisted and can grade into long
particles.
6. Quality Standards
The Sri Lankan Tea industry maintains the highest quality
in the world market and ISO 3720 is the minimum standard
applied for the products. The Country has the capability to
produce the cleanest tea in the world in terms of minimum
pesticides and residues. Methyl Bromide was removed from
the production process in 2012. Therefore Sri Lankan tea has
been identified as a “ozone free tea” in the world trade. Sri
Lanka is also adjusting well to the stringent ISO 22000 series
and to the health & safety regulations stipulated by the
European Community.
Growers are constantly educated to practice Good Agricultural
Practices (GAP). The Processing/Manufacturing facilities
owned by the export companies comply with local standards
(SLSI) and with International Quality Standards such as ISO,
HACCP, and EU Standards. Traceability throughout the supply
chain is monitored in order to guarantee a safe product to the
consumers.
7. Value Addition
We export more than 50% of tea in value
added form. The Value added product
range of Sri Lankan tea includes green tea,
flavoured tea, organic tea, instant tea, iced
tea, and ready-to-drink tea. Tea based soap,

range. Sri Lanka boasts of the biggest tea
research institute in the world. Colombo
also has the biggest concentration of tea
bagging plants in the world.
The Tea Auction

largest tea auction in the world. Auctions
are held every Tuesday and Wednesday,
except during the New Year and at
Christmas. Around 6.5 million kilograms are
sold weekly.

application of fertilizer, crop management, irrigation systems,
optimum input applications, pest and disease control, postharvest
management, well equipped machinery for processing, quality
packaging and improved transportation methods are practiced
specially for export marketing.
