\/><figcaption><strong>The fourth stage is fermenting<\/strong>&#8230;.tea leaves and  their natural fluids aids in the fermentation process.  The leaves are spread out in cool, airy, humid spaces.  Fermentation is the most important stage in tea processing.  If left too long or too short of time, the strength of tea weakens. <br><br>This fermentation process only happens to BLACK TEAS (Ceylon Pekoe tea).  White tea leaves is actually a different plant altogether (aka as silver or gold tips) and Green teas (same plant as black tea leaves) are just not fermented.
