Tea Varities
Some of the most common tea varities include black tea,
green tea, white tea, earl grey, masala chai tea,
chamomile tea, hibiscus tea, oolong tea, herbal tea, and
rooibos tea. There are many varities of each type, and it's
common for other flavors to be blended with these
varities.

1) Black Tea
Black tea, or red tea in China, is one of the most popular
tea flavors and is fully oxidized. The leaves of the
Camellia sinensis plant are withered, rolled, oxidized /
fermented, and dried or fired to produce a strong, full-
bodied flavor. Assam, Darjeeling, Nilgiri, and Sri Lanka are
a few well-known black tea producing regions, and the
flavor will vary based on the region and type of black tea.
Flavor Profile of Black Tea: malty, full-bodied, strong
2) Green Tea
Green tea is the most popular tea globally, is unoxidized,
and has less caffeine than black tea. Camellia sinensis
leaves are picked, dried, and heat-treated to prevent
oxidation. Chinese people often pan-fire leaves, which
creates a duller green color, while Japanese people will
typically steam them and achieve a brighter green shade.
Flavor Profile of Green Tea: vegetal/grassy, earthy, bright
3)Earl Grey tea
Earl grey tea is a tea blend which has been flavoured with
the addition of oil of bergamot. The rind's fragrant oil is
added to black tea to give Earl Grey its unique taste.
Traditionally, Earl Grey was made from black teas such as
China keemun and therefore intended to be drunk
without milk.

4)Masala Chai Tea
Masala chai is a tea beverage made by boiling black tea in
milk and water with a mixture of aromatic herbs and
spices. Originating in the Indian subcontinent, the
beverage has gained worldwide popularity, becoming a
feature in many coffee and tea houses.
5) Chamomila Tea
A drink made with hot water and dried camomile flowers.
Chamomile or camomile is the common name for several
daisy-like plants of the family Asteraceae. Two of the
species are commonly used to make herbal infusions for
traditional medicine, and there is some evidence that
chamomile has an effect on health.
6)Hibiscus Tea
Hibiscus tea is an herbal tea made as an infusion from
crimson or deep magenta-colored calyces of the roselle
flower. It is consumed both hot and cold. It has a tart,
cranberry-like flavor.
7) Oolong Tea
Oolong, or wulong, tea is semi-oxidized and picked later
in the season than green tea. The leaves come from the
Camellia sinensis plant but are bruised by being tossed or
shaken in baskets, which changes the oxidation process.
They're heat-treated to stop the oxidation, which can
vary based on region and create different flavors.
Flavor Profile of Oolong Tea: ranges from light and
fragrant to dark and full-bodied depending on the
oxidation level.
Popular Varieties of White Tea: Ti Kuan Yin (Iron Goddess
of Mercy) and Dan Cong (Phoenix Tea)
8) Herbal Tea
Herbal tea doesn't come from tea leaves like other
varieties. It's made from dried herbs, fruits, and flowers,
which can create a wide range of delicate flavors. These
tea types are caffeine free, making them ideal for
customers with dietary restrictions. Common ingredients
for herbal infusions include chamomile, ginger,
lemongrass, peppermint, rosehips, hibiscus, and dried
fruits.
Flavor Profile of Herbal Tea: delicate, fruity/herbaceous,
sweet
Popular Varieties of Herbal Tea: hibiscus, chamomile,
peppermint, Yerba Mate
9) Rooibos Tea
Rooibos tea, or African Red Tea, is an herbal tea that
comes from the South African Red Bush, and the leaves
are ground and bruised before they're fermented and
dried. Green rooibos tea doesn't go through an
oxidation / fermentation process and has a lighter flavor.
Flavor Profile of Rooibos Tea: sweet, smooth, earthy
Popular Varieties of Rooibos Tea: red rooibos and green
rooibos.
