Tea Types


Tea Types
Tea is categorised by the way it's produced and processed.   
  • White Tea (Younger leaves and delicate buds) : Wilted and unoxidised.
  • Yellow Tea (Made like Green tea but longer drying processing) : Unwilted and unoxidised, but allowed to yellow.
  • Green Tea: Unwilted and unoxidised (or very little oxidisation).
  • Oolong: Wilted, bruised, and partly oxidised.
  • Black Tea: Wilted, (crushed sometimes) and fully oxidised
  • Post-fermented Tea: Green tea that has been allowed to ferment/compose more than Green Tea.

    Fact: The smaller the tea leaf the more expensive it is.
