Tea is an infusion made by steeping processed leaves, buds, or twigs of the tea bush, Camellia Sinensis, in hot water for several minutes, after which it is drunk.

There are two important subspecies of the tea plant, the China type and the Assam type. But, for good quality teas, only the newest growth (two leaves and a bud) is plucked by hand. This process is called fine plucking
