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.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The diagram describes how five different tea products are produced with the initial step of growing to the final step of drying.
Overall, the stages of planting, harvesting leaves, wilting and oven drying are required in all types of tea and some special tea needs further treatment such as steaming, rolling, crushing or fermenting.
At the first stage, tea trees are planted and leaves are collected when they are qualified. After that, these leaves are withered. The process of making white tea is finished by the last stage of oven dehydrating, while green tea is steamed and rolled before being dried in ovens.
The production of three remaining tea types involves the fermentation process. Oolong tea is slightly fermented after the rolling step, in contrast, the complete fermentation is applied to black tea. Interestingly, small leaf black tea is produced by smashing tea leaves into pieces instead of rolling ahead of the fermenting stage.
