Tea offers a vast spectrum of flavors ranging from delicate and floral to robust and earthy. Flavor profiles are influenced by the type of tea leaf, processing methods, and regional variations.
The main flavor profiles include: Green teas (grassy, vegetal, slightly bitter); Black teas (malty, brisk, astringent); White teas (delicate, sweet, subtle); Oolong teas (floral, fruity, roasted); Pu-erh teas (earthy, musty, rich).

Water Temperature
Use different water temperatures for different types of tea. Green and white teas should be steeped at lower temperatures (170-180°F) to prevent bitterness, while black and oolong teas can handle higher temperatures (200-212°F).
Steeping Time
Avoid over-steeping tea, as it can result in a bitter taste. Follow recommended steeping times for each type of tea. Generally, green and white teas require shorter steeping times (1-3 minutes) than black and oolong teas (3-5 minutes).
Storage
Store tea in an airtight container away from light, moisture, and strong odors to preserve its flavor and freshness. Keep different types of tea separated to prevent flavor contamination.
