Black Tea

Black tea is the most popular type of tea. It contains the most caffeine if you are looking for

an energy boost. It also has the strongest flavour, which is often compared to chocolate. Black

tea has the longest shelf life of any tea; it keeps its flavour for several years. Don't worry if

some people call black tea red, because this is its name in several Asian countries.

White Tea

White tea is the rarest of all teas and it is made with very young leaves, which have a light

colour. It is widely believed that the caffeine level of white tea is higher than in green tea,

although some scientists say the opposite. Studies have also shown that it is better against

viruses and bacteria than green tea.

Green Tea

Green tea is closely related to white tea. It has a similar taste, but it uses rolled leaves. Green

tea has been studied far more than any other tea and many scientists say it is good for people

on a slimming diet. If you don’t like those visits to the dentist, there is good news for you:

green tea keeps your teeth healthy, too.

Oolong Tea

The final type of true tea is oolong tea. As for its strength, it falls between green and black. It

has neither the rosy aroma of black tea nor the grassy taste of green tea. Instead, oolong tea is

described as bitter with a sweet melon-like aftertaste. You can find oolong tea in any Chinese

restaurant you may go to.
