Frequently Asked Questions About Tea & Brewing

Everything you need to know about tea varieties, brewing science, health impacts, and daily rituals.

What are the true types of tea?

All true teas originate from the same botanical plant: Camellia sinensis. The differences stem entirely from harvest timing and oxidation levels. The fundamental categories are White Tea (minimal processing, sun-dried buds), Green Tea (unoxidized, pan-fired/steamed), Yellow Tea (lightly fermented), Oolong Tea (semi-oxidized, 20%–80%), Black Tea (fully oxidized, robust), and Pu-erh / Dark Tea (post-fermented and aged). Herbal teas like Chamomile or Peppermint are technically tisanes.

What are the golden rules of making good tea?

The 4 golden rules of tea making are: (1) Water Quality: Use fresh, filtered water with balanced mineral content; (2) Water Temperature: Never pour boiling water over delicate green or white tea (aim for 75°C–80°C to avoid scalding catechins); use boiling 100°C water only for black and masala chai; (3) Steeping Time: 2–3 minutes for green/white, 4–5 minutes for black; (4) Room to Expand: Use whole loose leaf tea in spacious infusers rather than cramped dust bags.

Which tea is the healthiest to drink every day?

Green tea and White tea rank as the healthiest teas due to high concentrations of Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) and polyphenol antioxidants. Regular consumption supports cardiovascular metabolism, cognitive alertness, and cellular protection. For digestion and gut health, single-estate Oolong and prebiotic Kahwa Spice Green Tea are superior options.

What is considered the unhealthiest tea?

The unhealthiest teas are bottled, commercial “ready-to-drink” iced teas loaded with high-fructose corn syrup, synthetic preservatives, and artificial flavorings, which often contain more sugar than soda. Additionally, detox teas containing excessive senna leaf laxatives or microplastic-shedding synthetic pyramid bags should be avoided in favor of pure, natural loose leaf tea.

What tea is best for beginners starting their journey?

For beginners, high-elevation Nilgiri Green Tea or a fragrant Artisanal Oolong are ideal because they possess natural floral sweetness with virtually zero astringent bitterness. If you enjoy milk, our whole-spice Masala Chai with cardamom, cinnamon, and ginger provides a comforting, aromatic introduction to whole-leaf quality.

Do tea drinkers age slower? (The Science)

Epidemiological studies indicate that habitual tea drinkers exhibit biological markers of slower aging. The potent flavonoids, theanine, and polyphenols in pure tea combat oxidative stress, reduce inflammation, and support telomere integrity, contributing to youthful skin radiance and cellular longevity.

What tea is best for evening relaxation and sleep?

For sleep and stress reduction, caffeine-free herbal botanicals like Chamomile, Lavender, and Holy Basil (Tulsi) work best. If you prefer Camellia sinensis, lightly brewed Silver Needle or Peony White Tea has the lowest caffeine yield and high concentrations of L-theanine, promoting calm relaxation without grogginess.

What are famous quotes reflecting the art of tea?

“Tea is quiet and our thirst for it is never completely satisfied. It is contemplative and suited to solitude.” — Okakura Kakuzo, The Book of Tea.

“There is a great deal of poetry and fine sentiment in a chest of tea.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson.
