Classification

Black tea is divided into three types, which can be clearly distinguished from each other mainly by their appearance and flavour:

  • Striped black tea, also known as traditional black tea or gongfu black tea, is more complete in appearance.
  • Broken black tea, known as BOP in the West, has a very fine crushed appearance all the same way.
  • Flavoured black teas, like Earl Grey, fruit flavoured teas, and smoked teas, are mainly added for flavour.

These two shapes affect the rate of release and extraction.

Strip Tea Guide

Reference time: 5 minutes.

Amount of tea to be thrown: 5 grams.

Special Honey Flavoured Black Tea

There is another type of black tea which is also in the shape of a strip, but because of pests, it has a honeyed flavour, and the brewing technique is not required. It is a tea with more characteristics and can be brewed again and again, and the method of operation is on a separate page as follows:

Stripe, bud black tea?

In addition to the honey flavoured black tea, there are also Sun Moon Lake black tea and Tao Ying black tea,DarjeelingBlack tea, Dian Hong, etc. are common names of tea in the market.

The buds are obviously smaller than the stripes, so should I reduce the time slightly? You got it.

Flavoured Tea Guide

It is also known as scented black tea. Usually, after processing, refining and flavouring black tea, including baking, aroma, flowers, fruits and other additional added aroma, mostly because of the post-processing aroma is as strong as perfume. The correct brewing method is to use room temperature drinking water, cool water for a short period of 10 seconds, and then enter the hot water brewing session, which can effectively remove the overly stimulating flavours and make the tea soup more balanced.
