Black or Green or White or …
I learn something every day. Among the non-herbal teas, among those made from the leaves of the tea plant, I knew about black tea, and I knew about black teas. I also enjoy a variety of green teas, which often give me a much needed caffeine boost mid afternoon.
Interesting to find out there are also white teas and oolong teas. A friend bought some tea from China some while ago; I think this might actually be an oolong tea. More or less by chance, I recently bought a white tea (that’s how I discovered the existence of white teas to begin with), a Chinese Pai Mu Tan. It looks more like herbal tea, green-ish dried leaves and some stalks, basically. White tea actually closer to the harvest than green tea, with minimum oxidation.
Very refreshing!
I love a good coffee, but admit that I am increasingly fascinated about the variety of teas out there. Coffee seems almost boringly straight-forward in comparison.
