Black, white and green and oolong – 4 sides of the same case

We think it is appropriate to open the ball by presenting the four major categories of tea: black teas, white teas, green teas and the intermediate fermented Oolong tea. These four teas all originate from the tea bush Camellia sinensis, but they differ from each other in terms of production, better known as fermentation.

In Denmark, we call many other hot drinks tea, but basically it is only tea if it comes from the tea plant, Camellia sinensis. Below you can read a little about the drink, which in Denmark we also like to call tea.

Rooibos tea

Rooibos tea is made from the leaves of the Rooibos bush, which grows in South Africa. Over time, it has become popular in other parts of the world due to its sweet, smoky and mild taste.

Roobios directly translates to "red bush" in Afrikaans. The name comes from the red color that the leaves get when they are fermented. Rooibos tea is naturally caffeine-free, which makes it a good alternative for those who cannot tolerate caffeine or who wish to avoid it.
