Orthodox Black Tea
Black tea is a “true” tea made from leaves
more heavily oxidized than the white, green, and oolong
varieties. Black tea is generally stronger in flavor and
contains more caffeine than the more lightly oxidized teas.
Orthodox Green Tea
Green tea is a “true” tea that has undergone
minimal oxidation during processing. Green tea is popular
in China, Japan and Taiwan and has recently become more
popular in the West.
Orthodox White and Yellow Tea
White tea is tea made from new growth buds and young leaves.
The leaves are steamed or fried to inactivate polyphenol
oxidation, and then dried. White tea therefore retains the
high concentrations of catechins, which are present in fresh
tea leaves. Yellow tea usually implies a special tea processed
similarly to green tea, but with a slower drying phase.
Flavored Black and Green Tea
Flavored black and green teas contain additional flavoring.
Flavors such as Bergamot, Vanilla, and Rose to name a few,
are added to provide a distinct tea drinking experience.
Fruit Blends and Other Varieties
Fruit blend teas offer a refreshing mix of tea and natural
fruit additions.
