A complete list of teas explained.

The world of tea is HUGE. There are many types of tea  and it can be overwhelming and exciting at the same time.

Tea taste can vary from the country it is grown in, growing conditions and to how it is processed. So a green tea grown in Japan won't taste the same as a green tea grown in the USA. 

But take this list and make a tea bucket list to work on for trying a world of teas! The teas with links are from the farm here. 

🍃 True Teas (Camellia sinensis)

White Tea

Lightly processed tea made from young leaves and buds. Delicate, soft, and subtly sweet with low bitterness.

• Silver Needle (Bai Hao Yin Zhen) – Bud-only tea, very light and smooth.

• Shou Mei – Fuller-bodied white tea with a slightly earthy sweetness.

• White Puerh – Pressed white tea meant for aging, mild and honeyed.

Why don't we make white tea here?

White tea is a very time intensive pluck as it uses only the youngest and smallest buds of the tea plant. It would take a large amount of plucking to get a reasonable harvest of tea.
