Orthodox Black Tea
Black tea is a "true" tea made from leaves more heavily oxidized than the white, green and oolong tea varieties. Black tea is generally stronger in flavor and contains more caffeine than the more lightly oxidized teas.

Oolong Tea
Oolong tea is partially fermented. A legend says that freshly plucked tea leaves dropped by a hunting man, turned into a tea of distinctive flavor and character through overnight withering and fermentation. Nowadays withered in the sun and turned in bamboo baskets, these bold whole leaves develop a mild, sweetbread-like flavor.

Orthodox White and Yellow Tea
White tea is tea made from new growth buds and young leaves. The leaves are steamed or fried to inactivate polyphenol oxidation and then dried. White tea, therefore, retains the high concentrations of catechins, which are present in fresh tea leaves. Yellow tea usually implies a special tea processed similarly to green tea, but with a slower drying phase.
