Step 1: Quality of your leave

Weißer Tee

Da er kaum verarbeitet wird, kann weißer Tee als eine der edelsten Teesorten betrachtet werden. Der Name geht zurück auf die Ernte der Teepflanzen, die stattfindet, bevor sich ihre Blätter vollständig geöffnet haben und solange die Knospen noch mit feinen weißen Härchen bedeckt sind. Die Knospen und gerollten Blätter werden von Hand gepflückt und müssen schnell und gründlich getrocknet werden, damit sie nicht oxidieren.

Grüner Tee

Um ihr natürliches Aroma zu bewahren, werden die Blätter des grünen Tees unmittelbar nach der Ernte erhitzt oder gedämpft. Dadurch wird verhindert, dass sie zu stark oxidieren und die so behandelten Blätter ergeben ein mildes und wohltuendes Getränk.

Black tea

While oxidation is avoided in the manufacturing process of white and green tea, it is crucial to achieve the main characteristics of black tea. Its unique colour and flavour is achieved by a high level of oxidation.

Urtete

Urtete betragtes som meget populær, men da det ikke er lavet af blade fra teplanten, er det faktisk ikke “rigtigt te”. På trods af det, står urtete for et stort udvalg af smage, da de kan fremstilles af tørrede frugter, blomster, krydderier eller urter.

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.
