Lesson details
Tea is typically classified into six types: white, green, yellow, oolong, black, and puerh. But to create these varieties it all comes down to the oxidation process. In general, the less tea is oxidized the more gentle and lighter the taste, whereas more oxidized teas will yield a darker infusion. But there are exceptions to this rule.
