been Asia's most famous
tea and is popular in the
West as well.
Black tea

There are dozens of

variatons,each with its own
characteristic,from very sweet
and light to dark and dry.
Oolong tea

The spelling "oolong" is a phonetic

transcriptio- n of the Chinese
characters,approximating to the
sound of spoken Chinese,or more
specific-ally,Mandarin.The correct
transcription is "wul- ong cha"in
pinyin.It includes the most famous
Wuyi Rock teas and different types of
tieguan-yin.
Pu'er tea

Pu'er tea is grown in southern

Yunnan province. The tea is
famous for its health benefits,
history and post-fermentation
characteristics
White tea

Not as popular as other varieties,but

good alter-natives are Sliver Needle
and White Peony,and a white tea from
Yunnan,a fermented white tea cake
and white tea bricks.It contains a
greater number of antioxidants than
other teas.
Yellow tea

Nowadays,yellow tea is only found in

a few lo-cations in China, mainly
because it is difficult to process.
Scented teas

Scented teas are made by combining

high quality tea leaves with the
fragrances and tastes of blossoms,for
example,jasmine or pomelo flowers.
roasting and
brewing
Steaming tea leaves was the
primary process used for
centuries in the preparation
of tea.
 Summa
Chinese tea culture has ry
a long history,profound,not only
contains the material and cultural level,also contains a deep
spiritual level.The first tea monograph Cha Jing written by Tang
dynasty writer Lu Yu was completed around 760 CE. This is
more than four hundred years earlier than the first Japanese tea
monograph on tea exists.For thousands of years China has not
only accumulated a great deal about tea cultivation,production
of material culture,but also accumulated rich spirit of the tea
culture,which is unique to China's tea culture.
