If you are too heated, it will cool you. If you are depressed, it will cheer you. If you are excited, it will calm you. ~William Ewart GladstoneTea UniversityTypes of TeaTea TreatsHealth BenefitsBrewingTea time is back!Types of TeaTypes of TeaRooibos tea is derived from a South African plant. Also known as "red tea" or "bush tea," rooibos is considered an herbal tea. The flavor is described as naturally sweet and slightly nutty and this tea is generally flavored with lemon or honey. Black tea is one of the most commonly known teas. These tea leaves have been oxidized longer than other kinds of tea giving it a darker color. Black tea contains more caffine than other teas and generally has a stronger flavor. Black tea also retains its flavor for several years, outlasting other teas. While black tea can be derived from many different species of the tea plant, the addition of different flavorings such as bergamot or ceylon makes this type of tea perfect for all palates!Herbal tea (or tisane) is made from an herbal or plant infusion and does not contain any parts of the tea bush. Because of this, the flavors can vary wildly.Oolong tea is a traditional Chinese tea, being withered under the sun and then oxidized. The flavor can range from sweet and fruity or thick and woody.White tea is derived from the same plant as black tea, but it harvested young and allowed to dry in sunlight before being lightly processed. Grown almost exclusively in China, the name "white" tea refers to the silvery hairs from unopened buds. White tea has be shown to have more health benefits than other teas made from the same plant. Yerba Maté is made from a species of holly native to subtropical South America. Its flavor is generally described as herbal and grassy, comparative to green tea.For more information see the health benefits page.Green tea is also derived from the same plant as black tea. The leaves undergo slight oxidation giving this tea its light brew color. Green tea does still contain caffeine, but has also been studied for its potential health benefits.<<backBrewingBrewing TipsTea TypeWhiteGreenBlackDarjeelingOolong RolledOolong Long LeafTisane/FusionsAmount per cup1 Tbsp1 tsp1 tsp1 tsp1 tsp1 Tbsp1 Tbsp175 - 185˚ ˚180 - 185206185185 - 206185 - 206206Water1 - 3 min.3 min.3 - 5 min.3 min.3 - 5 min.3 - 5 min. 5 - 7 min.Time<<backTea Treats
