Common Questions About Tea Selection
Find answers to help you understand Chinese tea varieties and make informed choices.
Oxidation is the process where tea leaves are exposed to oxygen, creating different flavor profiles. Green tea has minimal oxidation (5-10%), white tea is lightly oxidized (0-5%), oolong tea ranges from 20-80%, and black tea is fully oxidized (80-100%). Higher oxidation typically results in stronger, more robust flavors and darker colors.
Store tea in an airtight container away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Keep it in a cool, dark place like a cupboard or pantry. Avoid storing near strong-smelling foods as tea can absorb odors. Properly stored tea can maintain its quality for 6-12 months, depending on the type.
Different teas require different temperatures: White tea (160-180°F), Green tea (160-180°F), Oolong tea (195-210°F), and Black tea (200-212°F). Using water that's too hot can scald delicate leaves and create a bitter taste, while water that's too cool may not fully extract the tea's flavor.
Chinese tea is renowned for its health benefits when consumed as part of a balanced lifestyle. Green teas contain powerful antioxidants, oolong tea may support metabolism, and pu-erh tea is traditionally associated with digestion support. However, individual results vary, and we recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
Yes! Many Chinese teas, especially oolongs and pu-erhs, can be steeped multiple times. High-quality loose-leaf teas often produce better flavor on the second and third infusion. Simply re-steep the leaves with fresh hot water for 20-30 seconds longer than the first brew. This practice is actually encouraged in Chinese tea culture.
