Types of Tea
Black Tea
A fully oxidized tea, black tea is robust and full-bodied. The leaves undergo a withering, rolling, oxidation, and drying process, resulting in a strong brew with hints of spice, malt, or smokiness depending on the variety. Popular black teas include English Breakfast, Ceylon, and Earl Grey (flavored with bergamot oil).
Green Tea
Unlike black tea, green tea is minimally oxidized, preserving its natural green color and grassy, vegetal flavors. Processing methods like pan-firing or steaming lock in these delicate characteristics. Green tea is known for its health benefits and invigorating properties due to the presence of antioxidants and caffeine. Popular green teas include Sencha, Gunpowder, and Matcha.
Herbal Tea
Although not technically tea, herbal infusions, often called herbal teas, are a delightful category of caffeine-free beverages made from steeped flowers, fruits, herbs, and spices. Popular varieties include chamomile, peppermint, and ginger, each offering a distinct taste and potential health benefits.
