Tea is awesome. It’s a great beverage that comes in many different types, but a lot of people don’t know that most teas come from the same plant which is the Camellia Sinensis plant. The only thing that is different is the way that leaves are processed or where it is grown which gives it there unique flavour.
White Tea is unwilted and unfermented, which gives its light colour and light taste.
Yellow Tea is unwilted and unfermented but is allowed to yellow some, which gives its light colour as well and its light taste.
Green Tea is allowed to wilt but still is unfermented, this gives its light greenish colour and the more prominent taste.
Oolong Tea is wilted, bruised and partially fermented, this gives its darker colour and its much more prominent taste.
Black Tea is wilted, sometimes crushed and fully fermented, this gives its much darker colour and its much more prominent taste.
Now teas like herbal and red tea actually don’t have any traces of Camellia Sinensis, or well it shouldn’t. Herbal teas are made from many herbs and flowers. Red teas are made from the South African Rooibos plant. This is what gives it’s red colour and flavour.
Tea is an awesome beverage that can help you feel better and is great because it is extremely healthy and has more nutrients then just water.
So try tea and have a great time enjoying it!
Yay tea!!
