Green tea is made from unoxidized leaves. Oolong tea is partially oxidized. White tea is made from young, tender leaves. Rooibos tea is made from the leaves of Aspalathus linearis, a bush native to South Africa. Chai tea is spiced with cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, clove, and other spices. Herbal teas are blends of herbs, flowers, and/or roots. Tisanes are infusions of fresh or dried plants, flowers, or seeds.
