TEA

Tea is a beverage that is made from cured tea leaves by various methods. Tea is cultivated mostly in China, India, Sri Lanka, Japan, Indonesia, Vietnam, Turkey and some African countries. Tea can be subdivided into several kinds according to the level of oxidation:

  • Green Tea (unoxidized or barely oxidized)
  • Black Tea (fully oxidized)
  • White Tea (produced from tips or buds and young leaves and went through minimal number of processing methods)
  • Yellow Tea (oxidized 3-12%, almost like Green Tea)
  • Oolong (oxidized 30-70%)
  • Pu-erh (produced from buds and large leaves of old trees)
