Types of Teas
All teas are divided into four basic types - black, green, oolong, and a very rare white,
based on how the leaves are processed. Some teas are named after the district they
grow; Assam and Darjeeling. Others are named after people: Queen Mary, Earl Grey or
Prince of Wales. The Russian Caravan tea is named in honor of the route to its trade.
Some are named after the flavor which has been added to the tea
Others are named after their type, the size of their leaf (Orange Pekoe), a combination of
type and size, or after their use. (English Breakfast and Irish Breakfast). Below you will
find a list of common teas, their flavor and helpful hints.
