The different types of tea include black tea, green tea, oolong tea, white tea, rooibos tea, and herbal teas. Black tea is fully oxidized, making it darker in color and stronger in flavor. Green tea is unoxidized, which gives it a lighter color and milder flavor. Oolong tea is partially oxidized, producing an even lighter color and slightly more robust flavor. White tea is made from the young leaves and buds of the tea plant and has a light yellow-green hue and subtle floral notes. Rooibos tea is fermented for longer than other teas, resulting in a distinctive red-brown color and sweet, fruity taste. Herbal teas typically contain natural ingredients such as herbs, flowers, and spices that add flavors to the tea.
