Camellia sinensis is a plant species that is used to produce many of the world's most popular teas. From green tea to black tea and beyond, there are many different types of camellia sinensis tea, each with its own unique flavor and health benefits.
In this RU-vid video, we explore the six major types of camellia sinensis tea: green tea, black tea, oolong tea, yellow tea, dark tea, and white tea. We provide a brief overview of the characteristics and production methods of each type of tea, and discuss their potential health benefits.
Green tea is made from unoxidized tea leaves and is known for its fresh, vegetal flavor and its high levels of catechins and theanine. Black tea is fully oxidized and has a rich, robust flavor and a high caffeine content. Oolong tea is semi-oxidized and has a complex, nuanced flavor that falls between green tea and black tea.
Yellow tea is a rare and little-known type of tea that is made using a special production method that involves slow oxidation and careful firing. Dark tea, also known as fermented tea or post-fermented tea, is made using a process of microbial fermentation that gives it a unique flavor and aroma.
Finally, white tea is made from the unopened buds and young leaves of the camellia sinensis plant, and is known for its delicate, floral flavor and its high levels of antioxidants.
In Chapter 1 of the Masterclass on Tea we break down what is ‘Tea’, introduce the 6 major tea types, and dive deep into the history, processing steps, and flavor attributes of the 6 major tea types, including their outstanding sub-types. This chapter aims to lay out much of the concepts and terminology that we will be building upon throughout the remaining 7 chapters of the Masterclass on Tea.
Whether you are a tea enthusiast or simply looking to learn more about the different types of camellia sinensis tea, this video provides a comprehensive overview of the key characteristics and health benefits of each type of tea.
