If you were impressed by the fact that a cup of coffee contains around 1,500 chemicals , you will not be surprised to find out that a cup of tea contains almost 2,000 chemical compounds! Many of these chemicals possess antioxidant properties and health benefits, just like in coffee. However, the chemical structure of these antioxidant compounds differ between coffee and tea, just like the chemicals in green and black tea are different, even though they come from the exact same plant.
Chinese Black Tea
Chinese black tea is also known as Red Tea to the Chinese folk. This is because of the reddish black color the tea leaves give off in hot water. It is considered to be high quality tea but it is actually the least popular kind in China. This variation of tea, however, is also grown in countries like Kenya, Sri Lanka and India. This kind of tea is known as a ‘labor of love’ because the tea is picked by hand and processed by hand by turning to introduce air which offers the perfect oxidation for fermentation, thus giving the tea that unique taste and color.
Japanese Green Tea
Japan is a country known for its exquisite culture, cuisine and most of all for its Japanese green tea. Although it originated in China, it was brought over to Japan by a monk known as Myoan Eisai who was the founder of the Rinzai Zen Buddhism School. There are variations of green tea from this region.

Oolong Tea
Lovers of Oolong tea can thank its originator, a man named Wu Liang who killed a deer by accident and in the process forgot to dry the tea he was picking. Upon remembering, he noticed that the tea had changed color so he decided to keep drying it instead of writing it off as bad tea. When he made a cup, he was pleased with the taste. After spreading the good news about his discovery, he was nicknamed Wu-loong which translates to Black Dragon. Some of the best oolong teas come from both China and Taiwan.
