Step 1: Quality of your leave

White tea

As it is barely processed, white tea can be seen as one of the most delicate tea varieties. The name goes back to the harvest that takes place before the tea plants’ leaves are fully opened, when the buds are still covered by fine white hairs. The buds and unfurled leaves are handpicked and need to be quickly and thoroughly dried to avoid oxidation.

Green tea

To preserve their all-natural flavour, green tea leaves are heated or steamed just after they have been harvested. This prevents too much oxidation and produces in a gentle and nourishing beverage.

Tè nero

Anche se l’ossidazione viene evitata nel processo di produzione del tè bianco e verde, è fondamentale per ottenere le principali caratteristiche del tè nero. Il suo colore e il suo sapore unici si ottengono grazie a un alto livello di ossidazione.

Tè alle erbe

I tè alle erbe sono molto popolari, ma poiché non sono fatti con le foglie della pianta del tè, in realtà non sono “veri tè”. Ciononostante, offrono una grande varietà di sapori, in quanto possono essere preparati con frutta secca, fiori, spezie o erbe.

Oolong tea

Oolong tea is one of the youngest types of tea. It can be sorted somewhere between green and black tea as the tea leaves undergo partial oxidation. The processing of Oolong tea is one of the most time consuming and labor intensive.

Pu-Erh tea

Pu-erh tea undergoes microbal fermentation after the leaves are dried. The tea is particularly special as it can age for decades or longer and its taste an flavour keep developing.

Step 2: Quality of your water

Your tea is only as good as your water. Especially if you choose to prepare a tea that has subtle flavours such as white or green tea, the quality of water is crucial. Key standards used to judge the water are hardness, total dissolved solids (TDS) and chlorine. To improve your water quality, you can invest in water purification systems such as active carbon filters that reduce substances which affect the water’s taste, odor or appearance – your tea’s individual aroma will come through better and the tea will look clearer. An alternative option to filtered water can be bottled water.
