tea classification

Tea is classified primarily into six main categories based on the type of leaves, processing methods, and oxidation levels: 1. **White Tea**: Minimal processing; delicate flavor. 2. **Green Tea**: Steamed or pan-fired to prevent oxidation; fresh taste. 3. **Oolong Tea**: Partially oxidized; a balance between green and black tea. 4. **Black Tea**: Fully oxidized; bold and robust flavor. 5. **Pu-erh Tea**: Aged and fermented, often rich and earthy. 6. **Herbal Tea**: Not technically tea; made from herbs, fruits, or flowers. Each type offers unique flavors and benefits.
