Green Tea

Green tea is one of the most popular kinds of tea, and is traditionally consumed by many different cultures around the world. It originally comes from China, but is also commonly drunk in Japan and other parts of East and Central Asia. It is reported to contain antioxidants which contribute to overall health. It is a popular tea for cooking, particularly in Japan, where it is often made into green tea ice cream.

Darjeeling and Assam, from India, and Lapsang Souchong, from China, are some varieties of black tea. Black tea is the type of tea that is used in the traditional sweet tea consumed in the American South.

Oolong Tea

Oolong tea is green tea that has been allowed to oxidize somewhat, but not enough to be classified as black tea. Consequently, its taste is somewhere in between green and black tea. It is popular in Taiwan and in various areas of China.
