Camellia sinensisthe plant behind all traditional teas (green, black, oolong and white), originated in East Asia and is now grown all over the world in tropical and subtropical regions. A member of the Theaceae family, it is highly prized for its leaves and buds, which are rich in antioxidants. What’s more, the cultural impact of tea ceremonies, particularly in countries like China and Japan, underlines its importance beyond just being a beverage, embodying traditions of hospitality, aesthetics and care.
