Is it the different types of tea plants that determine the colour and aroma of tea? The answer is no.Actually, it is the processing of tea that finally decides the tea types.For example, black tea requires 100% oxidation and green tea requires almost no oxidation.So tea processing is quite an important factor in the production of tea.Anyway, the normal processing of tea includes the following four basic steps:

1.New leaves are spread in order to reduce water content until they are pliable enough to be rolled.This process is called withering.

2.The second step is rolling the withered leaves.Oils and extra moisture are released.This process can be done with machinery or by hand.

3.The third step is called oxidation or fermentation.In this process the leaves turn from green to bright copper in colour.This step decides what type of tea we want.

4.The last step is drying the leaves to stop the oxidation process.The leaves should be dried thoroughly without burning.

Decide each statement is T (true) or F (false) based on Passage B.

6.The processing of tea decides the tea types.

7.Green tea requires a little oxidation.

8.Withering makes the tea leaves release oils and water.

9.Rolling the withered leaves can be done only with machinery.

10.Burning the leaves is the last step of tea processing.
