TYPES AND
CHARACTERI
STICS OF TEA

1.GREEN TEA -The ever-popular Green Tea - these are fresh tea
leaves with very little processing. They do not undergo the oxidation
process. The leaves, after being plucked, are allowed to wither for a
few hours. They are then steamed or panned to remove the moisture
and trap the antioxidants within the leaves. The flavours of the
Green tea changes from region to region; with more grassy-
flavoured Green teas coming from Japan, peachy and chocolaty teas
from China and gunpowder flavours coming from Taiwan.

2.White Tea-The most exotic teas in the world, White teas are the rarest
of rare teas. The young fine shoots are hand-picked at the beginning of
the season with the fine silver doves still attached to it. The complex
light flavoured tea leaves come from Fujian province in China,
Darjeeling in India and some parts of Sri Lanka.
3.Pu erh Tea-This slightly moist tea is piled and aged in underground
rooms or caves, giving it an exceptional flavour. It is a full-bodied tea
with a dark rich liquor and distinctively earthy flavour. The best part
about Pu erh is that, like wine, it only gets better with time.

4. Black Tea-Black tea is created when tea leaves are exposed to hot
air for several hours after being plucked. This process helps reduce
the water content of the tea by 50% to 60%. The leaves are then
rolled, either by hand or mechanically, to allow essential oils to
spread and impregnate the buds. The leaves are then passed
through a screen and the smallest leaves go on to the next stage
whereas the bigger leaves are rolled again. These are then dried in
an oven to stop the oxidation process. The end result is a full-bodied
tea, treasured by tea lovers across the world.

5.Oolong Tea:A piece of art, tradition and
craftsmanship is seen in a cup of Oolong
tea. Oolong tea is oxidized tea and only an
expert will know how to extract the right
flavour and how much to oxide it. The tea
leaves, which may be oxidized from 20% to
80%, are repeatedly rubbed to generate the
correct texture and flavour. From soft floral
flavours to nutty, toasty flavours, Oolong
tea flavours vary depending upon the level
of oxidation.
6.Rooibos Tea - This is a tisane that is grown exclusively in
South Africa. It was discovered over a 100 years ago when the
residents of Cederberg area (near Cape Town) realized that the
fine needle-like leaves of a mountain bush could be used to
make a refreshing hot drink. The fresh tea leaves are bruised,
fermented in heaps, sun-dried and sifted to give you a unique
naturally caffeine-free brew.
