Ok, what is the difference between white, black and green tea?
Answers:
Black tea is made of tea whose leaves are completely oxidized. They are the most common type of tea found in Iced Tea, and have caffeine. They also have a dark color as compared to green tea. Green tea leaves are allowed to oxidize a fraction of the amount of black tea leaves, and have a lighter flavor and are naturally caffeine-free. White tea leaves are baby green tea leaves.
white is the baby,black is the old, and green is the young and healthy tea
White Tea:A rare tea found in China. These amber leaves are not fermented, and are comprised only of the tips of the tea plant. They stand up on end in the cup when served. Considered a delicacy. Pai Mu Tan is a type of white tea.
Black Tea: Fully oxidized leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. Black teas are the most popular tea in the world and are also known as Red tea in China referring to the color of the infusion in the cup.
Green Tea: Tea made from leaves that are not fermented before being dried.
The difference is when they pick the tea leaves. White and green teas are picked when they are very young and therefore have much more antioxidants. Black tea is what is in your common tea bags you buy at the grocery and is made from fully matured tea leaves.
Black tea has been fully fermented during processing, and green has not been fermented at all. Oolong teas are somewhere in the middle.
Like those other teas, white tea come from the Camellia sinensis plant. But the leaves are picked and harvested before the leaves open fully, when the buds are still covered by fine white hair. Hence the name. White tea is scarcer than the other traditional teas, and quite a bit more expensive.
the color lol?
