Green Tea

Green tea is picked and then quickly dried, either pan fried, steamed or fried in an oven. The goodness of the leaf is sealed inside. Because the leaf is so delicate, the tea should be brewed in water that is well below boiling to prevent cooking the leaves and destroying the subtle note of the tea.

Green tea has a short life span - it doesn't stay fresh long. Given the high levels of polyphenols, it is believed to have the greatest amounts of health benefits. Green tea leaves are minimally oxidized and thus have less caffeine than other types of tea.

Oolong Tea

Oolong tea is gently rolled after picking allowing the essential oils to react with the air and slowly oxidize. This process turns the leaf darker with time and produces distinctive fragrances. When the leaf has reached the desired oxidation the leaf is heated, in a process called 'panning' , to stop the oxidization process. It is then rolled to form the tea into it's final shape. The resulting tea can be anywhere between a green and a black, depending on the processing method.

This tea is handcrafted, undergoing a labor intensive process. The tea maker must carefully balance many elements in the critical few hours after the leaf is picked including weather conditions, quality of the leaf and the time the leaf oxidizes.

Black Tea

Black tea, or red tea as it's known in China, is the result of a complete oxidation of the leaf before being fired. First the leaf is spread out and left to wilt, losing some moisture, stiffness and much of it's weight. Then it's rolled, exposing essential oils to the air and starting the oxidization process. When this is complete the leaf is heated to stop the process, graded for quality and packed. Black teas are full-bodied and are able to withstand the addition of sweeteners and milk. There are many varieties of Black teas.

White Tea

White tea is minimally processed - generally only air dried and slightly oxidized. The highest quality are picked before the leaf buds have opened, while still covered with silky white hairs. Of all teas, whites probably have the least amount of caffeine. Those teas should be steeped in water well below boiling at about 75 (degrees celsius).
