tea is typically consumed with milk and sugar and is commonly found in
breakfast blends such as English Breakfast and Assam Tea.
02. Green Tea
The tea of the green variety is
produced by using leaves that have not undergone oxidation. This process
maintains the inherent antioxidants and subtle flavor that are naturally
present. Its coloring is faintly green and it exhibits a diverse array of
tastes, which can range from herbaceous and verdant to flora and nutty.
03. Oolong Tea
Oolong beverage experiences partial
oxidation, resulting in a distinctive taste that lies between black and green
tea. The taste range can differ from delicate and fragrant to lavish and just
charred, based on the oxidation extent.
04. White Tea
This type of tea known as white tea is
produced with minimal processing. It is composed of young tea leaves and buds
and boasts a nuanced and gentle taste with hints of sweetness and floral notes.
This type of tea has garnered recognition for its impressive attention to
antioxidants.
05. Herbal Tea
Herbal infusions are different from
the Camellia sinensis plant and are brewed using a combination of fruits,
herbs, botanicals, and flowers. These infused teas boast an array of distinctive
tastes and aromas and are generally free from caffeine. Some in-demand
varieties of herbal infusions include peppermint, hibiscus, and chamomile.
06. Rooibos Tea
Rooibos beverage is a type of herbal
infusion prepared from the foliage of the Rooibos shrub, indigenous to the
southern region of Africa. It features a naturally fruity and nutty taste and
is frequently sipped as a refreshing drink that doesn't produce caffeine, which
makes it an excellent substitute for black or green tea.
07. Earl Grey Tea
The type of tea known as Earl Grey is
a variant of black tea that is improved with bergamot oil, resulting in a
unique and refreshing citrus scent and taste. Its name is derived from that of
Charles Grey, a former Prime Minister of England, and it can be savored with or
without the addition of milk.
08. Matcha Tea
Matcha is a finely milled powder of
green tea leaves that has been commonly used in formal Japanese tea rituals for
many centuries. It is derived through the accurate processing of shade-grown tea
leaves, which gives it a special green color and an unforgettable umami taste.
The preparation of matcha involves whisking the green tea powder with hot
water, which creates a mildly bubbly drink that is classic in its way.
09. Pepper Tea
Refreshing peppermint tea is
originated by drying peppermint foliage, offering an exhilarating and
refreshing taste. It is revered for its apathetic and mollifying influence on
digestion and is customarily savored as a post-meal beverage.

Chamomile
infusion is famed for its relaxing capabilities. It comes from the dehydrated
blooms of the chamomile shrub and boasts a soft, fruity flavor. It is typically
ingested before going to bed, to encourage tranquility and enhance rest.
