3 Main Types of Tea 🍵
Tea can be broadly categorized into three main types:
1. Unfermented Tea (Green Tea)
2. Semi-fermented Tea (Oolong Tea)
3. Fully Fermented Tea (Black Tea)
Surprisingly, they all come from the exact same tea plant! The difference comes down to the degree of fermentation.
When left naturally, tea leaves begin to ferment due to the action of oxidizing enzymes. Green tea is made by steaming or pan-firing the fresh leaves to stop this natural fermentation process early.
Which type is your favorite? 🍵✨
