Tea classes
The six classes, and aged pu-erh
Single-origin leaf from the gardens that grow it, organised the way China organises its tea.
lǜchá · 绿茶
Green tea
Unoxidised leaf, pan-fired or steamed — fresh, vegetal, and bright.
báichá · 白茶
White tea
Barely processed buds and leaves — soft, sweet, and quietly aromatic.
huángchá · 黄茶
Yellow tea
A rare, slow-smothered class — mellow, golden, and gentle.
wūlóng · 乌龙
Oolong
Partly oxidised and skilfully roasted — the most varied class of all.
hóngchá · 红茶
Red tea

hēichá · 黑茶
Dark tea
Post-fermented and pressed — earthy, deep, and built to age.
pǔ'ěr · 普洱

Sheng and shu from Yunnan — sourced young or aged, by the cake.
