From ancient times to the present, different regions have bred different types of tea: green tea, black tea, oolong tea, yellow tea, black tea, white tea.
This is the "six major tea classification methods" widely recognized by the tea industry at home and abroad according to the classification of tea processing technology by Chen Qi, a famous tea expert in China.
China has a rich variety of tea, among which green tea can be said to be the most category and the most loved by the Chinese people.
Since it is a tea made without fermentation, green tea has more natural substances. Drinking a cup of spring tea first was an elegant style that the emperor also had to be vassals in ancient times.

High-quality green tea has always been the favorite of the majority of tea friends, drinking not only tastes first-class, but also can cool down the summer, refresh the mind, quite suitable for easy to sleepy summer and autumn drinking.
The processing process of yellow tea is similar to that of green tea, except that a "stuffy yellow" process is added to the process.
Its tea leaves and tea aroma are very similar to green tea, but have more mature flavor than green tea. In the traditional yellow tea, according to the fresh leaves, old and tender, the size of the bud leaves, there are three kinds of yellow bud tea, yellow small tea and yellow big tea.
China is the birthplace of black tea. In English, "black tea" refers to black tea, which is also the most globalized type of tea.
The soul of black tea is fermentation, and the full fermentation process gives it a full aroma and a ripe taste.
Different black teas also have their own personality. There are golden junmei with the fruity aroma of guiyuan, honey-scented keemun black tea with flowers and honey buds, and Zhengshan small seeds with a faint smell of pine smoke...
"One year of tea, three years of medicine, seven years of treasure", after the simplest withering, raw drying method of white tea, the most able to stand the test of time.
With the accumulation of years, the aroma, taste and soup color of white tea will undergo new changes.
The aroma of new white tea is fresh and lively, the taste is sweet, the old white tea has often become mellow after years of polishing, and the aroma has gradually turned to the cooked aromas such as medicinal fragrance and jujube fragrance.
This is the reason why many people like white tea, you can personally taste the taste of the years.
Green tea, also known as oolong tea, is a type of tea unique to China.
The degree of fermentation of green tea varies, from micro-fermentation close to green tea to heavy fermentation close to black tea.
The process is extremely complicated, and the artificial dependence is high, which interprets the taste of tea to the point of "madness", and also gives tea more humanistic color.

Black tea, named after the appearance of tea leaves that appear dark and black.
When it comes to black tea, I think the first thing that appears in most people's minds is Pu'er.
Yunnan Pu'er ripe tea, because of its unique aroma, soft texture, mellow tea soup and long history and fame, even covered the light of other members of the black tea family, almost became the "spokesperson" of black tea.
But in addition to Pu'er, there are other kinds of black tea, which are also unique and worth understanding.
Of course, each cup of tea interprets the terroir of the time, and I hope that everyone can find their favorite cup of tea in the owner's house.
