Yellow Tea

Yellow tea features a sweet, nutty, and subtly floral flavor resulting from fermentation. Its rarity in local tea shops stems from its intricate production process. (Image: Freepik)

White Tea

White tea is made from the young buds of the Camellia sinensis plant. These buds are swiftly dried to preserve their freshness and prevent oxidation. (Image: Freepik)

Oolong tea undergoes partial oxidation, less than black tea. It boasts sweet flavors such as honey, fruit, and hints of floral notes. (Image: Freepik)

Pu-erh Tea

Pu-erh tea undergoes drying, rolling, and fermentation to maintain its freshness. Ripe pu-erh tea is woody and nutty, while aged pu-erh is mellow and smooth with notes of plums. (Image: Freepik)
