Categories of Tea:
There are several categories of tea, which are generally based on how the tea leaves are processed after they are harvested. Here are some of the main categories of tea:

Black Tea
This is the most common type of tea consumed in the Western world. Black tea is made from fully oxidized tea leaves, which gives it a strong, robust flavor and a dark color. Black tea is often used to make iced tea and is commonly consumed with milk or sugar.

Green Tea
This type of tea is made from tea leaves that have been lightly steamed or pan-fried, which helps to preserve the natural antioxidants and polyphenols in the leaves. Green tea has a more delicate flavor than black tea and is often consumed without milk or sugar.

Oolong Tea
This type of tea is partially oxidized, which gives it a flavor that falls somewhere between black and green tea. Oolong tea is a popular choice in Chinese cuisine and is often served with meals.

White Tea
This type of tea is made from young tea leaves and buds that have not been oxidized. White tea has a very delicate, subtle flavor and is often described as having a slightly sweet or floral taste.

Herbal Tea
This category of tea includes any tea that is made from herbs or other plant materials that are not actually tea leaves. Herbal teas can be caffeine-free and come in a wide variety of flavors and blends, including chamomile, peppermint, ginger, and hibiscus, among others.

Masala Tea
These are the main categories of tea, but there are also many other types like Masala Tea, tea blends and infusions that combine different types of tea leaves or herbs to create unique flavors and health benefits.
Caffeine Contents:
Herbal teas are naturally caffeine-free, so they would be the type of tea with the lowest percentage of caffeine in it.
However, if you’re looking for tea made from the Camellia sinensis plant (which is used to make black, green, white, oolong, and other types of tea), then white tea generally has the lowest amount of caffeine. This is because white tea is made from the youngest leaves and buds of the plant, which contain the least amount of caffeine compared to the more mature leaves used to make other types of tea.
The caffeine levels found in tea can vary depending on factors such as the type of tea, the brewing method, and the steeping time. So, even within the same type of tea, the caffeine content can vary. Teas made from the Camellia sinensis plant, which includes black, green, white, oolong, and other types of tea, contain caffeine.
Here is a general ranking of these teas from highest to lowest caffeine content:
- Black tea caffeine: Black tea typically has the highest caffeine content among teas.
- Oolong tea caffeine: Oolong tea generally has less caffeine than black tea, but more than green or white tea.
- Green tea caffeine: Green tea usually has less caffeine than black or oolong tea.
- White tea caffeine: White tea usually has the lowest caffeine content among teas made from the Camellia sinensis plant.
It’s worth noting that the exact caffeine content can vary depending on factors such as the type of tea, the brewing method, and the steeping time.
