What is the difference between each Tea
White Tea with low caffeine and high antioxidants is famous among connoisseurs for it’s delicate yet complex flavour. It is an expensive and luxury tea.
Whites have the Feres Liqueur staying within pastel greens off whites and fair goals.
Green Tea is known for it’s mild subtle taste. It is fragrant and refreshing and often known as a superfood for it’s high antioxidant levels and vegetable palate. This is the tea that is most frequently made incorrectly from steeping too long. Green tea liquors are a range of greens from pale green to bright emerald.
Oolong Teas are recognised for their orchid like aroma, layers of complexity and benefits to the digestive system. With medium caffeine and fermentation Oolong surprised by aficionados. Oolong results in a warm brown liquor
Black teas are high in caffeine fully fermented with a brisk full bodied flavour. Black teas have a rich bronze liquor.
Like wine, like Tea
As with wine a tea’s character is determined greatly by subtle differences in soil, climate and elevation.
Cool nights, dry weather and bright sunny days combined provide the optimal conditions for growing tea.
This type of climate forces the the bush to expend all of it’s energy in the growth of new shoots.
The finest teas come from gardens of high elevation or cooler temperatures slowly growth, producing leaves with a more concentrated flavour and aroma.
Finally turning to herbals. Because herbals are not from the tea plant but a compilation of herbs, spices, fruits and flowers, they do not have any tannic acids as such you can steep herbals as long as you would like as they principally do not become bitter.
We recommend steeping herbals for at least 5 minutes as the longer you steep them the more powerful infusions becomes. When you steel herbals for a long time they release more of the health properties into your tea cup.
Herbals liquors resulted a variety of colours ranging from fuchsia to deep purples and golds.
A quick conclusion
So what did we learn. Varied steeping times depends on the tea leaves rates of infusion, oxidation levels and recommended liqueur.
Blacks and Oolong present a bolder flavour with extensive steeping while green and white teas require a shorter steeping time to retain a mild balanced flavour.
Perfecting your steeping time, perfects the flavour of the delicates teas and prevents bitterness or bland flavour.
