Tea Oil is the universal name for this renowned cooking oil and is not to be confused with the tea used in beverages. Tea Oil is pressed from the seeds of Camellia Oleifera, whereas the dried leaves of the Camellia Sinensis plant are used in black, green, jasmine and oolong teas.
The English word 'tea' is derived from the Chinese character, pronounced as tê in the Min Nan dialect and encompasses the variety of Camellia species grown throughout Asia.
