Black Teas, Green Teas and Herbal Teas
Black Teas
Black Tea is the fully dried, fermented leaf of the plant Camellia sinensis. When brewed, black teas range in color from golden to red amber, and possess flavors that run from full, rich and robust to light and delicate, depending upon origin and the time of year the tea is manufactured.
Green Teas
Green Tea is made from the same plant as black tea, but the leaves are steamed or pan-fired to halt fermentation, and then dried. Green Tea has a lighter, milder, somewhat more astringent taste than black tea, and a light green, somewhat golden color.
Herbal Teas
Herbal Tea is made from leaves, flowers, spices and other intriguing herbal ingredients. Generally herbal tea contain none of the leaf Camellia sinensis. Widely known for their soothing qualities, they are generally caffeine free.
