The flavors of tea are incredibly diverse, ranging from light and floral to earthy and robust. The type of tea, processing methods, and growing region all contribute to its unique taste profile.
Black teas, like Assam and English Breakfast, are known for their bold, malty flavors. Green teas, such as Sencha and Dragon Well, offer grassy, vegetal, and sometimes slightly sweet notes. White teas, like Silver Needle, are delicate and subtly sweet. Oolong teas exhibit a wide range of flavors, from floral and fruity to roasted and nutty. Herbal infusions, while technically not tea (as they don't come from the Camellia sinensis plant), offer a diverse array of flavors derived from herbs, flowers, fruits, and spices. Flavors can include minty, citrusy, spicy, or floral notes, depending on the ingredients.

Water Temperature
Different types of tea require different water temperatures. Black teas typically benefit from boiling water, while green and white teas are best brewed with water that is slightly cooler to prevent bitterness.
Steeping Time
Steeping time affects the strength and flavor of the tea. Over-steeping can lead to a bitter taste, while under-steeping may result in a weak brew. Follow the recommended steeping time for the specific type of tea.
Tea Quality
The quality of the tea leaves significantly impacts the flavor. Opt for loose-leaf tea over tea bags whenever possible, as loose-leaf tea generally offers a more complex and nuanced flavor profile.
Water Quality
The quality of the water can also influence the taste of tea. Filtered water is generally recommended to avoid any unwanted flavors that may be present in tap water.
