Tea Trivia

Types of Tea

Tea is known by the terms White, Green, Oolong and Black. The types are references to processing and oxidisation. The simplest explanation is to think of leaf that is picked or falls from any bush. The leaf turns stages of colours until it is finally black. In the case of tea, oxidisation is stopped at various stages.

White Tea: non-oxidised

Green Tea: non-oxidised

Oolong Tea: semi-oxidised

Black Tea: fully-oxidised
