Types of tea1. black tea 2. green tea and 3. oolong tea black tea infoblack tea is a fully fermented variety of tea that comes from the same camellia sinensis plant that oolong and green teas are made from. the process of making loose black tea involves withering then rolling of the tea leaves followed by a long period of fermentation. then the black tea leaves are fired resulting in a loose leaf black tea with a complex yet recognizable smell and full-bodies, strong flavor. green tea info: green tea is made from the camellia sinensis plant, the same plant from which all types of tea are made. produced primarily in china and japan, tea leaves are picked, dried, and heat-treated to stop fermentation of the loose leaf green tea. the heat treatment for chinese green tea consists of roasting the tea leaves in a hot roasting pan whereas japanese green tea is steamed. After moisture is removed through the heat treatment, the tea leaves are typically rolled and dried again before ready for use. chinese green tea produces a yellowish green liquor and toasted taste while japanese green tea is dark green in color and has a grassy taste. oolong tea info:oolong tea is another delicious variety of tea. it is also known as wulong (or wu long) tea. Similar to green teas, oolong teas also originate from the camellia sinensis plant and undergo similar processing steps. however, after the tea leaves are picked, they are intentionally bruised by shaking. while the leaves are drying, the edges of the bruised leaves turn reddish in color and the surface becomes light yellow due to fermentation and oxidation. after some fermentation period the tea leaves are pan fired to create a semi-fermented tea. chinese oolong tea is fermented only long enough to achieve 12-20% fermentation and results in a lighter oolong, while a longer period results in 60-70% fermentation of taiwanese oolong teas giving them a stronger oolong flavor.
