The variety of tea types

Posted by admin on May 7, 2008 in Health Infos, History Hub, Useful Tips

Another popular variety of tea is Green Tea. These tea leaves undergo minimal oxidization, mainly through steam. Grown mainly in China, these leaves are known for their medicinal properties. This variety of tea is considered to be more premium than black tea but not as premium as White Tea. White Tea is the most premium variety of tea. Grown almost exclusively in China, its consumption has only just started to gain popularity in the Americas. White Tea is made from the young leaves of certain tea bushes which have to be plucked before daybreak.
Another variety of tea, known as Oolong Tea, is that variety of tea whose oxidization level is somewhere in between the Green Tea and the Black Tea.

Grown, again, mostly in China, it is also referred to as blue tea. A few other varieties of tea are the Yellow Tea (a premium tea processed in the same way as Green Tea), Kukicha (made from the twigs of old tea bushes and a popular health drink in Japan), and Post-Fermented Tea (these teas are similar to Black Tea but undergo a second oxidation). The list could go on and on, but one has to draw a line somewhere. However, the tea varieties mentioned here will give you a good idea of the exquisite flavor and aroma of tea.
