varieties are made from it using different processes. if there's a good concise link about this please share. thanks a lot.

Answer 1

Tea is a generic term used for the drink made from steeping leaves, buds, twigs from the tea plant Camellia sinensis in hot water.

There are 4 types of true tea: black tea, oolong tea, green tea, and white tea.

Herbal Tea is made from herbs other than camellia sinensis, like chamomile or kava.

Answer 2

No, the taste of the tea also depends on the climate, soil, etc.

Teas of the same estate may result in different tastes due to different processes used.
