Key Highlights:

• Green Tea (Unfermented): Known for its fresh, grassy taste, green tea is lightly processed to retain its natural green color and antioxidants. Famous examples include Longjing and Bi Luo Chun.
• Yellow Tea (Lightly Fermented): A rare and unique tea, yellow tea undergoes a special "sealing yellow" process, resulting in a mild, mellow flavor. Notable examples include Junshan Yinzhen and Mengding Huangya.
• White Tea (Light Fermentation): Made from young tea leaves or buds, white tea is lightly processed and offers delicate flavors with a sweet and refreshing finish. Popular types include Baihao Yinzhen and White Peony.
• Oolong Tea (Partially Fermented): Oolong tea strikes a balance between green and black tea, offering a wide range of flavors from floral to fruity. Famous varieties include Tieguanyin and Dong Ding.
• Black Tea (Fully Fermented): Known for its robust flavor and reddish infusion, black tea is widely popular, with varieties like Assam, Darjeeling, and Ceylon leading the way.
• Dark Tea (Post-Fermented): Often aged and fermented over time, dark tea, including Pu-erh, is valued for its rich, earthy flavors and health benefits.
