I'm a little confused about the different types of tea and how they're made.

Tea is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, which are dried and then oxidized to create a beverage with various flavors and aromas. There are many different types of tea, including black tea, green tea, oolong tea, white tea, and herbal teas. Black tea is the most common type of tea and is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant that have been allowed to oxidize for at least 6-8 hours. Green tea is also made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, but it undergoes a process called "fermentation" before oxidation. Oolong tea is partially oxidized, while white tea is fully oxidized. Herbal teas are made from herbs, flowers, spices, or other botanicals.
