Basic knowledge of the six major tea categories: which six kinds of tea are the six major tea types in China?

This paper introduces different types of tea in China. The classification of tea types mainly depends on the changes in the process of tea processing. Green tea type green tea is the earliest tea in history, but also the most popular tea. Green tea is made from tea buds and tender tea leaves of tea trees. Tea leaves are dried directly without fermentation after enzyme killing and compaction. Properly processed high-quality tea should be green even after brewing. The output and sales volume of black tea varieties rank first in the world. Black tea is withered, rolled or cut directly without going through the process of enzyme inactivation. After full fermentation, the tea will be dried. Through this special oxidation treatment, black tea varieties have a unique dark red color and glycolic taste. This kind of tea is also known as "black tea" oolong tea in China when processing oolong tea, it withered first after harvest, and then shaken alternately to control the degree of fermentation. The smell of leaves will change from the smell of grass to the smell of flowers. The tea will be heated to inactivate the enzyme and then rolled up to dry. This kind of semi-fermented tea is oolong tea

Black tea is different from other kinds of tea in that black tea is accumulated and fermented, making its tea and tea dark brown and full-bodied. Black tea is good for digestion. Black tea is also called "black tea" in Chinese. However, it should not be confused with the Western term for black tea, which is called "black tea" by the Chinese. White tea type white tea will dry directly only after the process of withering. It is often covered with fine fluff and has a mild and smooth taste. White tea has the strongest health effect of eliminating toxins and refreshing. The processing method of yellow tea is similar to that of green tea, but high temperature processing is added in the production process. This process turns the tea and brewed tea yellow. Yellow tea has light fragrance and natural sweet scented tea / herbal tea type scented tea is processed differently from other types of tea, which largely depends on the type of flowers and the other teas they match. The so-called "flowering tea" also needs to be tied up by hand before it can blossom when making tea. Scented tea can be naturally air-dried or machine-dried. Scented tea can also be thought of as part of herbal tea. This kind of tea includes Chinese wolfberry tea and red jujube tea
