Black Tea
• This type of tea gets its flavour and colour from a natural oxidation process.
• Stronger in flavour, it is more oxidized than oolong, white or green tea.
• The oxidization process for black tea involves initial drying and rolling of leaves soon after they are picked.

• The unblended type is named after the region in which it gets produced – such as Assam tea, Darjeeling tea and Ceylon tea.

Green Tea
• This tea is made from unoxidized leaves that are heated after picking.
• This is done to destroy enzymes that cause oxidation.
• The next step is to roll them to release their flavour.
• Green tea is sweet and contains vitamins and antioxidant properties, so it's widely considered as a healthy, fragrant and delicious variant.

White Tea
• It's the world's rarest and most expensive tea, made from a specific tea plant variety.
• The leaves and buds are left to wither in sunlight and then are lightly processed to prevent oxidation.
• A particular processing method is involved that raises small silvery hair-like substance on the leaves and buds. But the exact method of processing is a secret.

• Authentic white tea has only been grown in the Fujian province in China. However, of late it is also grown in Taiwan, Northern Thailand and Eastern Nepal.

Oolong Tea
Oolong, usually from China and Taiwan, is a semi-fermented tea - a cross between green and black teas that's popular for its digestive benefits.
Depending on the horticulture and style of production, it can be:-
• sweet and fruity with a honey aroma, or
• woody and thick with roasted aromas, or
• green and fresh with bouquet aromas.
