The flavor profile of tea is incredibly diverse, ranging from delicate and floral to robust and earthy. Factors such as tea type, oxidation level, and brewing method all contribute to the final taste.
Flavor variations are vast, encompassing white teas with subtle sweetness, green teas offering vegetal and grassy notes, oolong teas presenting floral and fruity complexities, black teas exhibiting malty or smoky characteristics, and pu-erh teas delivering earthy and fermented depths. Herbal teas offer different flavors based on the herbs used.
Water Temperature
Use the appropriate water temperature for the type of tea. Green and white teas require lower temperatures (around 170-185°F) to prevent bitterness, while black and herbal teas can handle higher temperatures (around 200-212°F).

Tea Storage
Store tea in an airtight container away from light, moisture, and strong odors to preserve its freshness and flavor.
