The harsh examples assume that it is possible to produce all types of tea from the same tea plant. Theoretically this can be done, but the tea made using oolong technology may be called Oolong Tea, however its taste qualities may not meet expectations. For each of the 6 tea types, besides the processing technology, there are many other distinctions are of significance.

Tea grows on diverse soils, at different altitudes, in differing temperature ranges, therefore its leaf accumulates versatile substances affecting the taste and aroma of the tea. For instance, in Yunnan the large leaf trees are in abundance while in Fujian small leaf tea bushes prevail.
here are certain tea types that are grown under specific conditions.
For example, the Emerald spirals of spring are planted among the fruit trees to infuse the tea leaf fragrance with fruity notes which tenderly unveil themselves at brewing. On the same mountain, at its foot, in the middle and at the top, the taste of the growing tea will differ, and its value will differ as well.

There are special bushes for white tea with thick white hairs. The bush of Tie Guan Yin has given the name to the full range of Oolongs distinguished by heavy, harsh textured leaf. These are a few examples explaining that each type of tea requires the specific tea plant cultivar. Do not get confused, green tea can be produced from any tea bush as “green” implies the technology of leaf processing. However, the Dragon Well from Xi Hu Lake can be made only from specific bushes growing in the specific location.
Each tea type has the respective harvest time. Sometimes different teas can be produced from the same plant, white tea of buds in February, red tea of tips in March and green tea of leaves in April, yet only one type of tea is produced after all distinguished by quality grades, which depend on the period of its harvesting.
