Do you mean that you are looking for a list of black tea types, as all that you have listed are black teas, but I personally wouldn't call those types of teas, but rather one type of tea. To continue your list I would add orange pekoe, irish breakfast tea, lady grey tea (one of my favourites), and English breakfast.



You have lucked out! I actually maintain a website with a lot of information on this topic, although it's not strictly in list format.

For black teas:

Black teas are classified both by style and by region. The major region-based teas are Assam, Darjeeling, Ceylon, Keemun. The major black flavored tea is Earl Grey. For green teas, the major flavored tea is Jasmine.

You can read about green teas here:

It's hard to give a totally exhaustive list. You may want to also look at Oolong Teas and White Tea. This page explains the difference: http://ratetea.net/style/tea-camellia-si…

I hope this is helpful.

If you want a really quick answer though? The classic Afternoon tea, in my opinion, is Darjeeling: http://ratetea.net/style/darjeeling-blac… -- the other black teas tend to be a bit stronger and heavier. Darjeeling is most popular for afternoon tea because it is lighter among black teas.
