Re: Chinese Tea 101
Quote:
Three main types of teas; black, green, and white...here are some examples: Blacks: Keemun - also known as China Black English Breakfast Tea Irish Breakfast Tea Prince of Wales Earl Grey - also a black tea with flavoring from bergamot (bitter orange) ** this is my favorite...it gives it a light hint of citrus  Greens: Japanese Green Gunpowder Green Tea - any of several types Whites: Any of several types If you plan on buying in the grocery store I find Twinnings to be the best brand...everything else tastes flat and stale by comparison...and you can buy most of these in teabags or loose leaf in tins BTW - Teas age like cigars if you buy tins of loose leaf and keep them sealed to let them age Here's a good online vendor I've bought from several times... Simpson & Vail Also, if you're serious you might want to google "brewing tea" online for a primer on how to brew them properly...each of the three types (black, green, white) use different temperatures and brewing times... Enjoy
