Personally, I have switched over to tea from coffee over a year ago and I am not looking back. I was just drinking too much coffee per day and it was giving me headaches &#8211; since living in China people have been trying to convert me since the beginning (doctors included). With the wide range of tea styles, I have been experimenting with different Chinese teas (both purposely and because I have no other choice of teas in a given situation) in a rather informal process and thought it would be a suitable topic to discuss here on the Written Chinese blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 658px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-version=\"4\"><div style=\"padding: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background: #F8F8F8; line-height: 0; margin-top: 40px; padding: 50% 0; text-align: center; width: 100%;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 8px 0 0 0; padding: 0 4px;\"><a style=\"color: #000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none; word-wrap: break-word;\" href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/p\/2C6lSRhZxO\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">How do you like your tea in the morning? #greentea #tealeaves #wcctea #china<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\">A photo posted by Written Chinese (@writtenchinese) on <time style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;\" datetime=\"2015-04-29T04:32:41+00:00\">Apr 28, 2015 at 9:32pm PDT<\/time><\/p>\n<\/div><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><script async=\"\" defer=\"\" src=\"\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of our amazing Chinese team members, Chamcen Liu, who I also need to give a shoutout to, dug a lot online to build up the research and tips for this article today, thanks so much la!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"overviewofchinesetea\">Overview of Chinese Tea<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Tea is probably the most common liquid consumed in the world after water! There are so many styles and to avoid this from becoming a book, we will go through just those most commonly found in China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is known to be very healthy and has been ingrained in the Chinese culture as tea originated from China. The habit and lifestyle of drinking tea in China began in the era of Shennong, back 4,700 years ago. The scientific name of the tea plant is Camellia sinensis (L.) O.Kuntze. The Latin word \u201cSinensis\u201d here means China &#8211; so even in the official scientific name it has China in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most famous and the earliest Chinese pharmaceutical and medicine books, <a href=\"http:\/\/dictionary.writtenchinese.com\/#sk=%E7%A5%9E%E5%86%9C%E6%9C%AC%E8%8D%89%E7%BB%8F&amp;svt=pinyin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u795e\u519c\u672c\u8349\u7ecf<\/a> (sh\u00e9n n\u00f3ng b\u011bn c\u01ceo j\u012bng), records &#8220;\u795e\u519c\u5c1d\u767e\u8349\uff0c\u65e5\u9047\u4e03\u5341\u4e8c\u6bd2\uff0c\u5f97\u837c\u800c\u89e3\u4e4b.&#8221; This describes the Emperor Shennong, who is famously known for his teachings on agriculture and herbal drugs, tasting hundreds of varieties of herbs, and was poisoned (but luckily didn\u2019t die) by 72 of them. He drank tea to help detoxify his body. The character, \u837c (ch\u00e1) was created to represent Chinese tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the evolution of the character tea, an image of \u837c becoming \u8336:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The character \u837c (t\u00fa) was the main name (character) representing tea before the Tang dynasty. But besides tea, this character has many other meanings and pronunciations, including thistle and flowering grass. As drinking tea became more and more popular and widespread, the usage of the character of tea became more and more frequent. People removed one of the \u4e00 strokes in the character \u837c to form a new character \u8336, (ch\u00e1) and began to use \u8336 instead of \u837c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sixstylesofchinesetea\">Six Styles Of Chinese Tea<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Back when I was living in America, I think I only knew about green tea and red tea &#8211; and yes, it was normally those packets of instant Lipton tea. Yikes! Here in China, I have learned about six main styles of tea:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Green Tea <a href=\"http:\/\/dictionary.writtenchinese.com\/#sk=%E7%BB%BF%E8%8C%B6&amp;svt=pinyin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u7eff\u8336<\/a> (l\u01dc ch\u00e1)<\/li><li>Oolong Tea <a href=\"http:\/\/dictionary.writtenchinese.com\/#sk=%E9%9D%92%E8%8C%B6&amp;svt=pinyin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u9752\u8336<\/a> (q\u012bng ch\u00e1)\/ <a href=\"http:\/\/dictionary.writtenchinese.com\/#sk=%E4%B9%8C%E9%BE%99%E8%8C%B6&amp;svt=pinyin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u4e4c\u9f99\u8336<\/a> (w\u016b l\u00f3ng ch\u00e1)<\/li><li>Black Tea <a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.writtenchinese.com\/worddetail\/heicha\/227306\/2\/1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u9ed1\u8336<\/a> (h\u0113i ch\u00e1)<\/li><li>Yellow Tea <a href=\"http:\/\/dictionary.writtenchinese.com\/#sk=%E9%BB%84%E8%8C%B6&amp;svt=pinyin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u9ec4\u8336<\/a> (hu\u00e1ng ch\u00e1)<\/li><li>Red Tea <a href=\"http:\/\/dictionary.writtenchinese.com\/#sk=black%20tea&amp;svt=pinyin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u7ea2\u8336<\/a> (h\u00f3ng ch\u00e1) &#8211; What we in the West called Black tea!<\/li><li>White Tea <a href=\"http:\/\/dictionary.writtenchinese.com\/#sk=%E7%99%BD%E8%8C%B6&amp;svt=pinyin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u767d\u8336<\/a> (b\u00e1i ch\u00e1)<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>In today\u2019s article we will go through each of them on a high level as well as highlighting some of the most important species within these groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"howdoyouclassifythesestyles\">How Do You Classify These Styles?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure, you wonder, why is green tea called green tea and red tea called red tea? I was thinking it was determined by the color they make when \u201cbrewed\u201d with hot water. But Chamcen corrected me and explained that it was due to fermentation percentage. Pretty amazing, Chinese people definitely know their tea!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a chart of the degree of fermentation each style of tea has been through:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Green tea: 0%<\/li><li>Yellow tea: 10 &#8211; 20%<\/li><li>White tea: 20 &#8211; 30%<\/li><li>Oolong tea: 30 &#8211; 60%<\/li><li>Red tea: 80 &#8211; 90%<\/li><li>Black tea: 100%<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>What is fermentation? Yes, I had the same question when typing up today\u2019s article. From what I have researched, it is the process of putting the freshly picked tea leaves and putting them through an oxidation process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"howwerankedtheseteas\">How We Ranked These Teas<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>So as mentioned before, we are focusing on the top ten teas in this article, else this post would turn into a book! So naturally, you may wonder how we selected these top ten. As sales data is not so easily aggregated here for tea sales, we cross-referenced a few Chinese sources as well as using our own best judgement within the Written Chinese office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will work to updating this article in the future, and your input and comments at the end of this post will help us in understanding the general publics idea as well. Don\u2019t be heartbroken if your favorite tea isn\u2019t here. After reading it, share with us your favorite and let\u2019s have some fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 658px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-version=\"4\"><div style=\"padding: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background: #F8F8F8; line-height: 0; margin-top: 40px; padding: 50% 0; text-align: center; width: 100%;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 8px 0 0 0; padding: 0 4px;\"><a style=\"color: #000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none; word-wrap: break-word;\" href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/p\/2C_5pIhZ36\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nora fancies a cup of #greentea |#china #wcctea #tealeaves<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\">A photo posted by Written Chinese (@writtenchinese) on <time style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;\" datetime=\"2015-04-29T05:19:09+00:00\">Apr 28, 2015 at 10:19pm PDT<\/time><\/p>\n<\/div><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><script async=\"\" defer=\"\" src=\"\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"greentea\">Green Tea \u7eff\u8336<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Green tea, looking at the fermentation chart above, has 0% fermentation, so it is in its pure form.
