Kinds of tea
Most of the tea available in the market is of the black variety where the tea leaf has been fully oxidized and fermented. Orange Pekoe and Darjeeling are the popular black teas. Darjeeling teas can also be further differentiated into summer and spring varieties, depending on how soon young tea leaves are picked. Green tea is not oxidized and has a less hearty flavor than black tea. It has been a favorite in Asia for many years, and is just now becoming more popular in the States. A hybrid between green and black teas is the Oolong tea.
