Green tea is best known for its grassy vegetal notes, greenish liquor colour and green leaves. It is promptly steamed or pan-fired to denature the oxidizing enzymes and to preserve its freshness.

The least processed of all tea types are white teas. White teas consist merely of unopened leaf buds covered with down. Consequently, they are more rare and in many cases, more expensive. Although white tea has a long recorded history, it has only in recent years made its way onto the Western tea scene. Recorded History, Instagram White, Glow, Scene, Cases, Organic

Oolong tea is a large leaf, semi-green tea that is partially oxidized, and falls between the green and black tea categories. The leaves are withered and then tossed in bamboo drums, which initialize the oxidation process. When oxidation reaches about 70%, the leaves are exposed to heat (fired) so as to halt the oxidation.
