ENGLISH TEA

GREEN TEAGreen Teas: These are made in a different way than the black tea they are just picked and dried so oxidation doesn't happen. These are very good for you because they are full of vitamins and antioxidants. They are delicious and healthy. Green teas come from Japan and China and can be flavoured with jasmine. Green teas should be brewed for 1-2 minutes for the first brew

Oolong. Oolong teas: These come from China and Taiwan. They are fermented teas and are good for digestion. Recent research shows that they help the body break down fat so they are becoming very popular. In China Oolong is drunk from tiny cups and each sip savoured. The best results are achieved by making it in small quantities with a high leaf to water ratio and quick, 30 second infusions.

Black Tea. Black Teas: These are the teas you use milk or lemon with. The most famous ones are Assam, Darjeeling, Ceylon, Earl Grey, Chai. They can be bought with fruit and spices in them like oranges, vanilla, mint, apricots, mangoes and apple. If you want to drink the tea on it's own (without milk) 45 seconds-1 minute is ideal but if you want to build the strong tannic flavours you may want to leave it longer for 2-3 minutes.

White Tea. White Teas: This tea is very rare because it can only be harvested for a couple of weeks the year. They are an antioxidant and detoxifying and have very well documented health benefits. White tea is the purest and most delicate of all teas. It needs longer brewing time than other teas. Please allow to steep for 1-3 minutes.

Pu-erh tea. Pu-erh tea is traditionally made with leaves from old wild tea trees of a variety known as "broad leaf tea"Pu-erh is a compressed tea and also that it typically ages well to produce a pleasant drink. Often pu-erh leaves are compressed into tea cakes or bricks, and are wrapped in various materials. Steeping times last from 12–30 seconds in the first few infusions, up to 2–10 minutes in the last infusions.
