1. Black tea 70% in the market
2. Oolong
3. Green Tea
4. White Tea
White Tea the most healthy, got plenty of anti-oxidant and keep you look young.............. -
did u buy ur own tea set to practise at home?
my fren got this relli cool piece.......
spend so long to do all the steps.....tamazde one sip finish liao....... -
woh cool...
well where did you go for this tea appreciation and who conducted it?
White tea has gained quite alot of popularity recently due to its supposed goods that it does to your body, better than green tea, or so as claimed. It also has the taste closest to the natural tea leaves.
Both green and white tea are unfermented tea but white tea seems to have the upper hand due to lesser processing, it is not rolled and just steam or wither then dry unlike green tea which is withered, dried, rolled, then dried again. Because of lesser processing, it supposed gives a better taste.
Yet, i think tea is pretty much an acquired taste and also pretty much misunderstood. Many people complained abt the bad aftertaste tea gives but most of time, it is because we infused the tea leaves or bags for too long, thats why the 'tanin' taste.
Enjoy ur tea

Well, if it is about taste, I guess more youngsters will prefer coffee over tea............but for health and beauty reason *I am vain*, there is a good reason to drink more Green Tea or even White Tea. There are 4 kinds of tea and they are come from different part of a tea plant and there is only 1 species of tea plant on earth, regardlesss it is grown in Sri Langka or China. Black tea which is the normal tea we buy from the market is mostly roasted and smoke. Earl Grey is an example. Oolong are half roasted. Green tea is the hand pluck with 1 bud and 2 leaves. White tea is only the bud and is hand pluck as well.
Whatever it is, I just want to drink more White Tea to look younger -
Jasmine tea is Jasmine flower added to tea. Japanese one with grains in them? Is that white tea?Originally posted by MooKu:I like jasmine tea most... and that japanese one, with all the grains in them... -
Hehe, how come at first 0 reply the time no body reply, then only after I replied myself then got more reply....why ah.......culture here?

Earl Grey is a kind of Black tea which has Bergamot Oil sprayed on it. Try Darjeeling tea, the 'Champagne' of tea. You may like it.Originally posted by FreeToFly:I take a class in Tanjong Pagar opposite Yakun. Don't know whether got better one or not, but I find the class is good.

and sorry i may have misunderstood u but all kinds of tea is from the tea leaves of the tea plant alone. The only difference is the plantation it is harvested from and the processes it goes thru. Different bushes on the same plantation can give you different quality and grades of tea.Originally posted by FreeToFly:I take a class in Tanjong Pagar opposite Yakun.

Yah.......but black tea is collected by machine.....so the stems are swept in as well. That was how I understand it.Originally posted by gasband:Earl Grey is a kind of Black tea which has Bergamot Oil sprayed on it. Try Darjeeling tea, the 'Champagne' of tea. You may like it. -
True if you are talking abt cheap black tea....like those normal black tea we drink in the market. Those like in the Darjeeling plantations are hand plucked thats why expensive hehehehe but anyway, i can tell you its true that most people wud choose coffee over tea and its a shame that I am one of them hahaha...but i still love tea but not as much as coffeeOriginally posted by FreeToFly:Yah.......but black tea is collected by machine.....so the stems are swept in as well.

just for ur info which may be right or wrong depending on urself, is that there is still no 100% proof and evidences that tea prevents cancer and stuff like that, it certainly has no harm in itself but no proof as of yet, in fact some say that because of its anti oxidants, if you drink it in huge quantity, it will react with the free radicals in the negative way and create more chaos...hmmm...the "wonders" of research

prefer those with subtle taste... strong tea like a bit too bitter liao...Originally posted by gasband:oh ok long jing is basically a kind of green tea...nice tea...
Jasmine is tea with flowers....
and Tie Guan Ying is a kind of Oolong tea...so i guess you cannot take strong tea....
