The main different types of teas that you'll find.

There are so many different types of teas, it's easy to get lost and it can get pretty confusing after a while... One can classify them by colors, where they come from, and by their specific characteristics (such as those that help you sleep, those that help you be more awake, so on and so forth.)

Don't think that you're the one who might get confused by all the data that is out there because you're not. We were confused for a long time too.

But no worries! Here, we are going to outline them by their color so that it's easier for you to make the difference between them. You can learn a little bit about each, find out about it's health benefits, what are the different grades that you'll find, the many names that some of them go by, and specific properties that you'll want to know about.

Green.


Japanese Green Teas.


Chinese Green Teas.


Just a tidbit of information here:
The reason why we decided to name the Japanese and the Chinese brews is because they have different ways of drying and processing the leaves. Also, because these are two different countries, the nutrients in the soil are different. Hence, the leaves will yield different brews once put in hot water.

Try as many of them as you dare to and see which ones you love best! Though do keep in mind how some of them are described to taste like, it will help you decide which ones fit your tastes best.

White.


Black.


Earl Grey.


Wu Long.


Oolong.


Rooibos.


Pu-erh.


Flowering.


Bubble Tea.


Organic.


Hong Kong Milk Tea.



We hope that through the information provided above, you'll have an easier time finding out which you like best. Of course, you can always decided to learn about them based on what country they are from, or their specific characteristics. That is a way to go. But if you're a beginner, stick with the colors, it's easier. (For us, it certainly was in the beginning.) Once you have a grasp of the colors, learning which comes from which country is much, much easier.

If you're like us, you'll have more than one favorite, but hey! No calories, therefore, no guilt. And it replenishes your body with the liquids that it needs. Can this get any better?

You could even have a different kind for every day of the week!

But a word of caution, if you have children, are pregnant, or are nursing, you will want to choose one that is caffeine free. Rooibos is known to be safe for children and pregnant/nursing women. This is because it contains no caffeine from the point that it is grown to the point when it reaches your cup.

Make sure to check with your doctor before you make this your main beverage.
