The image illustrates the tea processing stages: picking fresh tea leaves (only bud and 2 top leaves), withering (air passed through leaves on rack, reduces moisture content by 60%), then diverges into traditional (leaves are loose) and modern method (tea bags, leaves are cut, torn, curled). Traditional method involves rolling (leaves rolled flat and enzymes released), then oxidation/fermentation (rolled leaves spread on stilts/cement, enzymes+air cause leaves to change to copper color). Modern method involves a quick process resulting in smaller granular pieces. Both methods conclude with firing/drying (oven hot air dryers, releases flavor and aroma), achieving a total of 97% moisture out.
Given the complexity of the image, the above description may not be entirely accurate.

The diagram shows the two processes for manufacturing black tea. The traditional way is used for making loose tea and modern process is ideal for teabags.
When collecting tea, the tea picker picks only the two top leaves and the bud of ensure a high quality tea. Then, the tea leaves go through withering, where leaves are spread out and air is passed through withering, where leaves are spread out and air is passed through them to remove up to 60 per cent of their moisture.
After that, the leaves are ready for rolling or cutting. Factories use traditional methods of rolling and crushing or faster modern methods of cutting, tearing and curling to make teabags. In both processes, natural enzymes are produced from the leaves. The next step is oxidation, where the enzymes from the leaves mix with the air. This changes the colour of the leaves from green to copper and creates a nice flavour and aroma. Finally, the leaves are fired and dried. By this stage, little moisture remains in the tea-just three per cent.
