Module 2 – Variety in Tea

WIHTE TEA	GREEN TEA	OOLONG TEA	BLACK TEA

The diversity in tea is elegantly expressed visually, in the leaf, infusion of the brewed leaf and the brewed liquor, continuing through the fragrance of the tea both leaf and liquor and finally in the flavour, texture and strength of each tea. The variety in tea is without equal amongst any beverage on account of the subtle variations that exist even within a single tea garden and the dramatic differences between tea from different regions and tea made in different styles. This variety is at the heart of luxury in tea and made especially unique by the fact that the variations on the eye, nose and tongue come from the leaves of one plant – Camellia Sinensis.
