Have you ever tried going to the supermarket to buy some tea because you heard from a friend that tea is very good for your health, but when you tried to buy some, you were shocked in finding that there were just so many types of tea available? If this sounds very familiar to you, then it is imperative for you to know the different types of tea so that you will have a better idea on what tea would suit you best.
It is a good thing to know that there are four basic types of tea. You have black, oolong, green, and the rare white tea. Black tea is the most common of all. In fact it is the one that is made into the thirst quenching iced tea with a brilliant red color. It has also been found to fight diabetes in a recent study.
The oolong tea is a combination of the black and green leaves. This type of tea is considered as stronger than green tea but is milder compared to black tea. So it is somewhere in the middle of the black and green tea in terms of intensity.
The green tea is also a very popular tea. It is well-loved in the Orients since its taste highly complements Oriental food. This tea has a slight bitter taste. So if you have a very sweet dessert during a meal, a cup of green tea will be a very good companion of that sweet dessert, and if you want to taste something exquisite from China, you have to try their white tea, especially the silver needle tea.
White teas are considered rare and are known to be found only in China. The silver needle tea is wanted by most tea enthusiasts because of its fresh taste, as well as the health benefits that it brings. It has a grape-like aroma with a shiny yellow color, deemed by most people as totally invigorating, intoxicating, and heavenly.
So if you would also want to taste the rare sweetness of an exquisite tea, make sure that you have the silver needle tea on your list. This tea is worth tasting.
