There are many types of Chinese tea, including green tea, black tea, oolong tea, white tea, yellow tea, and dark tea. Each type of tea has its own unique processing methods and flavors. For example, green tea is usually fixed by steaming or pan-firing, which preserves the green color and fresh taste of the tea leaves; black tea, on the other hand, is fermented and has a rich red color and mellow flavor. Tea plays an important role in the daily lives of Chinese people. It is an essential part of social gatherings and family get-togethers. Moreover, tea is closely related to health. Many studies have shown that tea has various health benefits, such as antioxidant properties and the ability to reduce blood lipid levels.
