THE DIFFERENT TYPES
OF TEA: Tea (derived from
the plant Camellia Sinensis) comes in three main processed
varieties called,BLACK
TEA, GREEN TEAandOOLONG TEA. The
method of processing the leaf distinguishes the three
types.
Black Tea The process used making
black tea has various names such as: withering, rolling,
fermenting, firing and is also known as the oxidation
method.
Green Tea The Green tea is processed
by steaming or heating the leaves immediately after
plucking. This prevents the fermentation that makes
the black tea. The leaves are then rolled and dried.
Oolong tea
The Oolong tea is made through partial fermentation.
The leaves are left to wilt naturally and the enzymes
within the leaves start the fermentation process. The
fermentation is then interrupted by adding the leaves
to heated pans and stirring them. The leaves are then
rolled and dried.
Flavoured Tea– Is made by adding
a flavour to black or green tea.
Scented Tea- A flavour or scent is
sprayed onto black or green tea.
Spiced Tea
- In spiced tea you can see little particles of spice
in black tea.
Herbal Tea - The tea professionals
prefer to use the term "tea" only to drinks
brewed from the leaves of the "Camellia Sinensis"
plant. Infusing or steeping the leaves of the herbs
in hot water makes the herbal tea. This could be better
described as an "herbal infusion".
