GREEN tea is an unfermented tea which is withered and steamed before drying to prevent oxidation and fermentation and retain the leaves' green color.

BLACK tea has a stronger color and flavor than green tea. It is prepared from leaves that have been fermented/oxidized before being fully dried, and due to the oxidation process the polyphenol content is less than that of green tea.

PU'ERH teas are known as "post-oxidized" because, after wilting in the sun-drying, the leaves are piled, dampened, and enzymes are introduced whose external actions on the tea result in oxidation. Pu 'erhs are earthy, deep, and full of flavor and aroma. Pu 'erhs come in two types: cooked (black) or raw (green).
