TYPES OF TEA
WHITE TEA LEAF: White tea does not undergo fermentation is less popular of the tea types. The tea leaf gives colourless liquor, a delicate sweet flavour and a mellow creamy or nutty quality. White tea leaves are the whitish grey buds of the tea plant which are sun dried or steamed. GREEN TEA LEAF: The fermentation of green tea leaves begins with withering, the next step is pan-frying or steaming to prevent fermentation. Once the steaming process is complete, the green tea leaves are cut dried and cured. The health giving properties of green tea leaf are well known.

Contd
OOLONG TEA LEAF: Oolong tea leaves are among the top quality and expensive teas they are cultivated in China and Taiwan. The tea leaves are semi fermented going through a short stint of oxidation. The leaves are reddish brown in colour and the liquor is pale yellow and tea aroma is a fresh floral and fruity with a reminiscent of smoke. BLACK TEA LEAF: Black tea is the most extensively consumed form of tea all over the Globe. Black tea is fermented fully unlike the green tea leaf which is partially fermented. It has bitter sweet and astringent flavour and the tea leaf give dark brown liquor. PU-ERH TEA LEAF: Pu-erh tea is same as black tea, but this form of tea is fermented twice than regular black tea leaves and fermentation then followed by period of maturation till a thin layer of mold forms on the surface. The mold imparts a characteristic soil-like flavor and a strong earthy quality. Puer tea (also called pu-er or pu-erh) is an ancient and rare tea, much loved in China and the only tea for some 'hardened' tea drinkers.
