Here you can read about the difference between black tea, green tea, oolong tea and white tea. Individual health benefits are mentioned too.

How many times do we just want to drink tea after a heavy meal, but are then bombarded with all the various tea flavours that we get lost. This article answers that need.

What you should always remember is that there are only four types of tea.
1) Black tea
2) Green tea
3) White tea
4) Oolong tea

All these are made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis, also known as the tea plant. Other herbal infusions such as chamomile tea, ginger tea or red tea made of rooibos leaves are disqualified as types of tea since the tea plant is not involved in their making. The difference between the four tea variations lies in the process of making them. In addition, each type of tea has another flavor and various health benefits.

1) Black Tea
The strong flavored burnt Sienna colored hot beverage is the most popular type of tea in the West. Either served with a squeeze of lemon or added milk and a cube of sugar, the cup of black tea is part of daily tea ceremonies that take place worldwide. Black tea is made of heavily oxidized Camellia sinensis leaves. When served plain, it contains no calories, carbohydrates, or fats. A cup of black tea contains more caffeine than any other types of tea but less than in any cup of coffee.

2) Green Tea
The lightly oxidized tea has been popular in China, Japan and Korea for centuries. Recently, rumors on its health benefits increased its popularity in the West as well. It has been proven that drinking green tea can lower cholesterol, prevent cancer, increase metabolic rates and be helpful in variety of other conditions and illnesses. The green tea is lightly oxidized, dried, but not fermented. It is usually served plain, without sugar or milk. Since some of the green tea variants taste a bit bitter, it should be brewed in lower temperature than the boiling point.

3) White Tea
White tea is rarer and more expensive than the other types of teas mentioned above. Originated in the Fujian province of china, the white tea is made of young Camellia sinensis leaves, which go through a long process of steaming or frying, inactivate fermenting and drying. Since the leaves are harvested while the buds are still covered by white hair, it is called white tea. White tea has the most delicate, sweet taste than the other types of tea. Moreover, it contains the smallest amount of caffeine and the largest amount of antioxidant that help prevent cancer.

4) Oolong Tea
The traditional Chinese tea is the common companion of Chinese foods such as dim sum and chop suey in American Chinese restaurants. The oolong tea, black dragon in Chinese, got its name after its long, dark distinguished leaves that look like wild black dragons when brewed. The unique taste of the oolong tea is achieved by a long process that includes sun drying of the Camellia sinensis leaves, light oxidization, cooling and drying processes. The result is a lighter flavor than the popular black tea and stronger than the delicate green tea.

Jack Reider replaced his coffee drinking habit with a healthier green tea addiction because of the health benefits. Now, he is tackling his online casino problem, and he hopes to get over that soon too.

Most people know oolong tea as the kind they are served in Chinese restaurants. Although this type of tea has long been treasured in Asia, partly due to its weight loss reputation, it is now gaining popularity in the west.

Most people know oolong tea as the kind they are served in Chinese restaurants. Although this type of tea has long been treasured in Asia, partly due to its weight loss reputation, it is now gaining popularity in the west.

Although there are many different types of tea, they all come from the same plant, camellia sinensis. The leaves of the tree are processed in various ways, giving us the many kinds of tea. White, green, oolong and black tea are all from the same plant, but are processed differently. This processing affects the flavor, color, caffeine content and health benefits of the different types of tea.

After oolong tea is hand picked, it is shaken slightly to bruise the leaves, then left out in the sun. It is important to the ultimate flavor of the tea that this is done immediately after it is picked. This begins the drying and fermenting process. It is then roasted, traditionally in a hot wok.

Oolong means black dragon. It comes originally from Fujian Province in China. Today there is both Chinese and Taiwanese. This tea is semi-fermented, somewhere in between green tea, which is unfermented, and black tea, which is fully fermented. It contains caffeine, but slightly less than either black or green tea.

There is a large variety available. Different fermentation times produce different flavors and textures. Some oolong is flat and straight, some is curly, and some is rolled into tight balls. Often jasmine is added for flavoring. Some varieties are grassy and light, others are dark and richer.

The darker variety is best brewed kungfu style. Traditionally a very small clay pot is used. Pure water is boiled and poured over the leaves. Allow to steep for just one minute before serving. It is best taken hot.

This tea contains antioxidants, which are important to good health. While it contains fewer of beneficial compounds such as EGCG than green tea, it has far more of them than does black tea. This tea accounts for just a small percentage of all of the tea consumed in the world. It is renown in China for its weight loss effects. Try some today for a new tea experience!

Among all tea types, Chinese oolong tea has the highest level of aromatic oils and therefore is the most fragrant. The Iron Goddess oolong tea especially is renown for its intoxicating aroma. For further information, visit the Chinese Tea Shop at Amazing-Green-Tea.com.
