Tea that has undergone traditional processing is referred to as orthodox tea. In general, orthodox teas are lively and snappy with a complex flavor profile.

Utilizing the conventional techniques for making tea, such as plucking, withering, rolling, oxidation, and drying, orthodox tea is created.

Depending on the sort of tea being made, orthodox tea is painstakingly rolled or shaped into different sizes and forms. White, green, oolong, and black loose leaf tea are among the kinds produced using orthodox processing.
