Basically, tea can be divided into a few types. There are many different schools of thoughts when it comes to typing of chinese tea... Some will use the colour of the tea, some use the level of fermentation while some may use the preparation methods... However, I like to classify them as green tea such as Long Jing, Oolong tea such as Jasmine, Puer, which is further divided into green and fully fermented types and also flower tea such as rose tea.
Which classification do you use?
We will discuss further on these tea in coming postings...

I like to classify chinese tea simply into 3 groups, depending on the stages of fermentation - green, oolong and black.
Green tea has none or the least fermentation.
Black tea has been subjected to the most extensive fermentation.
Oolong tea falls in between.
However, I come to realize recently that there are even white, yellow and red tea.
Thank you for visitting the blog, actually the clasiffication with white, yellow or red is made base on the "cha tang" or colour of the tea that you get from brewing the tea leaves..
