The diagram shows how tea leaves are processed into five tea types. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

The diagram presents the manufacture of five different types of

tea

. It is immediately apparent that

although

all the teas are produced from the same leaf, the differences in the manufacturing process result in five different types of

tea

.  The first three stages of manufacture are the same for all five teas. The leaves are grown, they are

then

plucked, and

following

this

withering of the leaves occurs. The final stage is

also

the same, which sees all the leaves dried in an oven.

However

In contrast

are all rolled as part of the process.

However

while

green

tea

is steamed before being rolled but is not fermented, the other two teas are first rolled and

then

both fermented (oolong only slightly but large leaf black completely).

Finally

, small-leaf black

tea

is neither steamed nor rolled but is crushed before being fully fermented.
