- Camellia sinensis is a plant species that is used to produce many of the world's most popular teas. From green tea to black tea and beyond, there are many different types of camellia sinensis tea, each with its own unique flavor and health benefits.
In this CZcams video, we explore the six major types of camellia sinensis tea: green tea, black tea, oolong tea, yellow tea, dark tea, and white tea. We provide a brief overview of the characteristics and production methods of each type of tea, and discuss their potential health benefits.
Green tea is made from unoxidized tea leaves and is known for its fresh, vegetal flavor and its high levels of catechins and theanine. Black tea is fully oxidized and has a rich, robust flavor and a high caffeine content. Oolong tea is semi-oxidized and has a complex, nuanced flavor that falls between green tea and black tea.
Yellow tea is a rare and little-known type of tea that is made using a special production method that involves slow oxidation and careful firing. Dark tea, also known as fermented tea or post-fermented tea, is made using a process of microbial fermentation that gives it a unique flavor and aroma.
Finally, white tea is made from the unopened buds and young leaves of the camellia sinensis plant, and is known for its delicate, floral flavor and its high levels of antioxidants.
In Chapter 1 of the Masterclass on Tea we break down what is ‘Tea’, introduce the 6 major tea types, and dive deep into the history, processing steps, and flavor attributes of the 6 major tea types, including their outstanding sub-types. This chapter aims to lay out much of the concepts and terminology that we will be building upon throughout the remaining 7 chapters of the Masterclass on Tea.
Whether you are a tea enthusiast or simply looking to learn more about the different types of camellia sinensis tea, this video provides a comprehensive overview of the key characteristics and health benefits of each type of tea.

I never knew I needed to know this but as a long-time tea lover, I need to now learn EVERYTHING about tea. Thank you!!!
That's great to hear!! 😄🌱 We have Chapter 2 on Tea Biology & Cultivation dropping tomorrow and Chapters 3-8 of the course dropping every 72 hours throughout the month of August... so stay tuned! 🤗🍵
This was the university degree I never knew I needed. Thanks to the CZcams algo for recommending it. I have never been recommended a tea video before, let alone a masterclass. Makes my collection of oolong, white and green tea drinking that much more interesting.
yes yes
yes
I really like how you lay all this out there just straight facts. Most people who talk tea on youtube like to be super dramatic about it, which is fine, but not when you're trying to just learn the basics.
Thank you!! I really appreciate this comment because you highlighted exactly what my intention here is - I felt that tea educators were overly focused on the folklore side of tea (which is interesting too!), but people seem to want a little less riff-raff and little more concrete information. Anyway, thank you for watching and commenting! :)
yes yess yeeeees
Nice to explain about the different varieties. Interesting to note - what people in the west call "black" tea, the Chinese call "red" tea, because the resulting brew is red. In China, "black" teas are things like Pu Erh and Oolong (black dragon).
I’ve started differentiating both as different types. I’ll call earl grey, irish breakfasts, indian black tea, and other similar teas “black tea”, but chinese and japanese tea like Yakushima black, Yunnan fenqing wild tree, sun moon lake, I call those “red tea”.
I think earl grey and sun moon lake are different enough to warrant being a completely separate category.
@@figeon I wonder what category Japanese houjicha fits into? I'm thinking black tea.
@@theharper1 I would still consider that green tea personally
The gods of CZcams algorithm bestowed this video on me, and I'm so glad it did. Learning so much already, thank you for making this resource for all of us tea noobs out there.
Thank you so much for this amazing course.......I am 70 years of age and I believe in learning something new every day. I was brought up on Ceylon tea I had an Uncle (Irish Priest) living in India and every year he would send us in November a very large wooden tea chest of loose Ceylon tea. What memories, to remember the excitement of my parents opening up the tea chest (probably took 2 months to deliver from India to Ireland) which stood on the floor in the sitting room it was a real treasure for our family.
What a beautiful story! I can imagine the excitement of the tea chest on it's way 😄🌱
I feel honored to have added a couple of extra details to your lifelong relationship with tea. It brings me joy to connect with others through tea 🍵
Do you still drink Ceylon tea to this day?
Dylan
@@wumountaintea Yes Ceylon tea is still my all time favourite, but recently I have been venturing into herbal teas my favourite morning brew now is mint & sencha/matcha green tea I usually have Earl Gray tea in the afternoons. After viewing three of your videos this morning I am looking into loose teas again to make Kombucha, I viewed ;your VID on that. Dylan you truly are an amazing person. Thank you so very much. HUGS!
@@fionn5305 aw Thank You!! 🥰 that's so kind
Minty Matcha sounds like it would certainly wake you up in the morning!! I will have to give that one a try 😊🍵
Keep me updated on your ventures with tea!
More tea videos on the way 🌱
HUGS 💚
Dylan
there are some people in my life, they looks like a lighthouse on the pacific ocean, they give use the power of life, they told me where we should go, they light up the dark sky at night. you are one of thoese people, so amazing...
I hardly drink tea other than green tea (more of a coffee junkie) but your level of knowledge and enthusiasm on the subject makes one want to try all the ones mentioned. Big kudos.
... and now on to chapter 2 😃
as art historian that studied East Asian Art & Culture in uni i can only THANK YOU for giving me a further and deeper understanding of this very central tradition that i need to understand for my studies!!✨
Damn dude I’m so glad I found this channel. Good stuff!
10:00 actually, German white wines are picked several times in the harvest season and the later the picking the higher the sugar content. The latest picking is used to make the most expensive wine. This is the difference between a kabinett, spatlese, auslese and an eisewein which is picked last.
It‘s not quite same. Tea plants can be harvested multiple times a year. The same doesn’t apply to wine. What you‘re referring to is delaying the harvest - or leaving some grapes on the stock while others are harvested. Which is a bit of a gamble. The longer the harvest of wine is delayed, the greater the chance for things to go wrong. If there’s too much rain the grapes will rot, if frost doesn‘t hit, there not going to be Eiswein.
@@MrArantonI vomitted from drinking such wine from France. Such fermented sweet wine should be drunk in very small quantities but I drank half a bottle.
When i tried a black tea from a sinensis variant for the first time, it blew my mind since i grew up accustomed to the assamica flavor and tasting a black tea that isn’t bold jn the palette is widening my view on what type of flavors black tea can produce.
What you recommend for making taste better for green tea?
This is the masterclass I’ve always wanted!!! I’ve always had so many questions about tea and I’m so excited that all this content is in one series, and after watching this first video it seems like it’s so well done! Thanks so much for doing this, looking forward to watching the rest! ✨✨👍👍
Oh man gosh you are SO INCREDIBLE and amazing!! This is is such a brilliant video, so well organized and so well explained and thoughtful. Can’t thank you enough for sharing your expertise and taking the time and care to do it so well. I hope you make more videos!!
When I saw that you made an eight part series, I became giddy with excitement! I just love tea and learning!
Thank you very much for your introduction,I would like to add that in China, there are a total of 4 kinds of green tea production ways, and all have famous representative tea, including fried green tea (Dragonwell, Biluochun), baked green tea (Taipinghoukui, Huangshan Maofeng), steamed green tea (Enshi Yulu), sun green tea (Sichuan and Yunnan green tea), of which fried green tea is the most common.
You’re a star! Keep shining and the content flowing! most importantly, keep doing what you love! Thank you for all that you’ve put out there in the world thus far! Hope to see more of you in the near future!
Traci thank you so much!!
And I saw you chipped into my little kickstarter too! That’s means a lot to me 🥰🙏
I’m so happy you’ve been enjoying the tea videos! Are you a long time tea lover or just getting into it now?
Very happy to be a part of your journey in tea 🤗
Best,
Dylan from Wu
This information is so comprehensive that makes me realize how little I know about tea, please keep the content coming, I'm looking to learn more from it
This should have a million + views
I’ve never seen the teas broken down by type, process, shape, region etc. do you have a complete list for all of them that you could share or a resource I could lookup to find this information? Thank you so much this has all been so helpful!
I like the way you use your hand to express number six naturally, you really got the Asian culture printed in your bone
You take a complex subject and make it, if not quite simple, at least readily comprehensible. That's impressive. Thank you for doing this educational work.
This video is a gem among the other videos that get reccomended to me. I learned so much from this one 36 minute video, thank you for sharing!
nothin better than watching this video with a cup of tea at midnight
This is my kind of channel!!! Came her from your Kombucha scientific video. 1000 thumbs up
Finally!! Someone who knows what they’re talking about without all the hurrah! Taking notes for my next tinder date 👍🏿
Yeah no we're done with hurrah... hurrah is now canceled 🚫🙌🌱 Is there not a dating app for tea drinkers yet?? No 'Tea-swipe' or Tea-Harmony?? I'm busy with tea vids but the idea is yours to run with if you wanna build the app 😜🍵💚
@@wumountaintea Teander?
It is amazing. Thank you for your time! 🙏
You know, I think you have done a wonderful job introducing the world of tea types, so much so that I am eager to watch all the chapters in your Master Class. Thank you for your enthusiasm and dedication to tea - you have piqued my interest in finding some of the teas you have suggested. We have an Asian Market close to our home, and I am excited to making a field trip to see what they might have to offer. As a 74 year old “Senior” I now have a new interest to investigate - thanks to you. Please keep your commitment to educating about tea, you have an engaging style of teaching that invites me in. All the best to you!!
Thank you for the protocol. I'm a biochemistry student, and I was trying to write this protocol during class today. You saved me a lot of time. Thank you
Thank you for this series! I have only recently gotten interested in tea, and have had a hard time figuring out where to start. This has been very useful, and I can't thank you enough!
Thank you so much for this. I started getting into tea this year and your masterclass is seriously leveling up and broadening my knowledge.
You’re welcome Ryan! I’m happy that you’ve gotten into tea and that the videos have helped you kick off the journey 😊🌱🍵 Don’t hesitate to reach out to me with questions or thoughts as they arise on your path with tea 🍵 Thank you for watching and commenting 🤘🌱
- Dylan
I really didn’t know how much I would enjoy this… wow! Thank you for being who you are 🎉
This is so so resourceful and informative. I grew up in northern part of China and we aren't that accustomed to drinking tea. My mother, however, is a tea lover but we didn't have access to that many fine grades of tea readily available, everything is pre-packaged, and only the famous tea kinds get around. It's amazing learning this "taxonomy" of tea, where it also gives me a general idea of how it's produced and brought to our table. This is a great opening episode, thank you so much!
I LOVE TEA SO MUCH I NEVER THOUGHT OF LOOKING FOR A TEA VIDEO BUT IT FOUND ME AND I LOVE IT
Bravo for your knowledge and experience to explain the history and their descriptions that speaks volumes. You're terrific! 💜
Hii! I stumbled upon one of your reels on Instagram and I really don´t know much about tea, but for some time now I have been wanting to learn a little bit more. Your videos are extremely well explained and easy to digest for someone who has zero knowledge on the topic. The passion you have for tea reflects on the way you talk about it and invites me to keep learning. Thank you so much, a big hug from a Mexican living in Argentina!
Wow I’m sooo happy I’ve come across your videos 😍 Thanks Dylan
Thank you thank you thank you for this beautiful video! I'm so glad i stumbled upon your page!
Never have i heard these many terminologies and classifications of tea. Thanks indeed.
Wow, I've lived in Beijing for over 17 years and been pretty obsessed with Chinese tea the whole time - I thought I knew a fair bit about tea but you make me look like a novice. This is a truly excellent overview.
Love the tea paraphernalia and traditional paintings in the background too.
My favourites are Anji Baicha, Liuan Guapian, good sencha, upmarket Jinjunmei or Dianhong with oatmeal/porridge for breakfast, or a Tieguanyin or Dongding oolong when entertaining.
Ping me if you come to Beijing!
Good luck with everything.
Best
Mark
Ohh that Dianhong Oatmeal pairing sounds 😋🤌🔥
I lived in Beijing for a couple of years during high school and college, that’s actually where I had my first cup of great tea, from a vendor around Guomao.

So happy to subscribe to a channel that shares my affinity for 🍵 tea culture!
WOW awesome class love it SO much ,thank you for saharing
Definitely going to be coming back to this masterclass series again and again! Currently new to loose leaf tea and the selection can be overwhelming and this series is helping greatly
This is THE best channel on tea i‘ve come across so far in years! i can see your channel blow up over the next couple of months if you manage to put out a few more vids in the future. Hope to see more soon!
Very impressed (and a little envious 😁) of your tea journey. Looking forward to learning from you.
Thank you!! This was probably one of the best concise overviews of the tea types I’ve heard. Took so many notes just to add to my growing bank of knowledge! Now I have so many more teas to try out!
This is the first video about tea that ive watched. To me everything was just TEA. Great masterclass
thanks for the wonderfully detailed yet digestable 101 for us
Excellent presentation of teas. Thank you for the education on the growing, processing, and selection of teas.
I couldn't care less about different kinds of tea.
Yet, somehow, this video was captivating to watch. Exceptional job of teaching this.
This video is amazing! I'm hooked to the master class. I loved to see scientific approach to tea
WOW! I had no idea there are so varieties and sub-varieties and sub-sub-varieties. I've always been a tea drinker but now I'm not so sure.... I no longer think that my generic Black and Green Tea in which I leave the tea bag in the cup the entire time I drink the tea (someone once told me that the longer you leave the bag in the hot water, the more bitter the tea but I still do it) and then I re-use the same bag for 2 more cups counts. Someday I'll have to try some of the teas you mentioned. Great information! You obviously spent a lot of time putting this information together.
Great introduction! As Chinese tea drinker for more a decade I still learn a great deal from your introductory lesson.
This is a great video. At first i did not understand much. But as my tea journey continues I return to this video again and again, since I start to understand more
Honestly this is the best video I have watched about tea . I‘m looking forward to many more #Tea maker .
I had no idea there were so many types of tea. I have drink many types of herbal tea but now want to try some of these. Much love ❤️ 🙏
This is everything I want in a CZcams Channel! Another great one!
Awesome! 😃🍵🌱 Thanks for watching and commenting 🙏 More vids on the way 🤘🍵
I am intrigued and taking mental notes in your presentation, your knowledge, passion.....the list goes on, my cuppa is English-indian pg tips,which is boiling hot water p9ured in a cup with tea masala, let it brew milk, drink at the right temperature, it has been pg tips, but now you have educated me, tea world discovery time.
Love this and enjoy it a lot. Even for Chinese , I still learn more knowledge about tea from this video
Thank you so much Dylan O'Neill Rothenberg. I’m a coffee barista couch to BID Deaf coffee students, brain cancer 17 years and counting. Looking forward to next lesson. 🍵🍵🍵--☕️☕️☕️👩🏽🦽🌴🦅
Increcible video! Thank you so much 💛🙏🍵
Oh my gosh! Wonderful video! I’m an addict now!
Amazing ! Awesome !
Thank you :) your enthusiasm definitely translates
I loved this! Now I’m going to go right back and watch it again😊
yellow teas are my absolute favorite other than aged white. You are definitely right about how white tea ages like wine. Great content
very excited. Thank you.
Can’t wait for the next video!
Thanks Tony! All 8 chapters plus an intro video for the whole course are all ready to go and scheduled for release every 72 hours through the month of August... so stay tuned! 😃🌱🍵
This is awesome, and you’re living the dream doing everything tea related.
Thank you for your video and all the work behind it. Loved it!!
Wonderful information, appreciate your time putting this together
I absolutely love this video! I’m so grateful you made this deep dive and amazing introduction into the world of tea! As a tea novice just starting out this helped soooo much! Thank you bro 🙏🙏🙏
Wonderful class - looking forward to more!
i've been interested in tea for years but the extent of it was always just wandering into local tea shops or asian markets and trying random tins of it until i find things i like (so far my favourites have all been oolong, green, or herbal). i've never actually thought to learn more about actual tea itself and tea production but this video appeared on my youtube home page--probably because i have started learning mandarin and am watching so many videos about china, hahaha--and i'm so glad i decided to click on it. this was so fascinating, and i need to go find the other chapters, too, now, as well as go find some really nice teas to try of all the different types!
Amazing video, probably the best i've ever seen of any topic on entire youtube. Recently i've found interest in oolong teas and your video helped a lot. There's actually a very nice online tea shop in my country which sells lots and lots of different types of tea in good price, including many of those you mentioned to be very hard to find.
i never thought more about tea than just liking its flavour but it is SOOO interesting, i need to learn more about it
I grew up in China as the only coffee drinker with all the tea snobs in my family , and now I ‘m learning tea stuff from you 😂! Fantastic video btw. Your are super knowledgeable.
Love your enthusiasm
What a fabulous video. I loved all this information. Thank you 🙋🏻♀️
That was so interesting, thank you! I am looking forward to exploring different teas and learning more in the masterclasses.
Great! You're welcome!
Yes, plenty more material starting from Chapter 1... have fun!! Let me know if you have questions 🤗🌱
Dylan
i am thankful for you video. You give whole information about tea.
im excited to binge all of your videos! im so happy i found your channel, thank you for sharing your knowledge 🫶
My goodness, what a fascinating subject! And presented in such a professional manner. 👏👏👏😁
I tried Yellow Tea when I went to a tea house in Jeonju, South Korea, with my friend this year. She told me she had been to that exact tea house before when she was young and during her stay she got sick. Her parents ordered the same Yellow Tea back then and she said it was very nostalgic for her to drink it again with me.
VERY well presented. Thank you from the bottom of my tea-lover heart!
REALLY educational, thank you so much!
I reall liked watching this Video
Wow, a really interesting. A great channel, thanks!
Wow! That was fun and informative. Filled in some gaps for me. I'll have to come back and watch it again after I've seen all the others.
Haha, nice 👌🌱 what was the biggest thing that the info from the video cleared up for you?
Before I happened upon this video, I knew nothing about tea and had very little interest in it. You've opened a whole new world for me, and the clear passion that you have for tea makes learning about it even more fascinating.
Wow! This video was excellent. Going to watch all of them. But first, I'll note down some teas to try! Thank you! :) BTW, your Chinese pronounciation is great!
Abolutely Excellent Video Wow
Wow! The information about tea was so interesting and well presented.
Oh my so interesting! I’m going to go all nerdy on my tea collection now 😍
Helpful Dylan. Thank you. God bless you
Thank you for this interesting, detailed masterclass on the fascinating universe of tea - as well as the time you took to create it!
Quality content such as this series 👍 levels up what we can find on CZcams and justifies my subscription to Premium.
Awesome video and series!!! Thank you!
You are extremely knowledgeable. Awesome video
Dude, thank you so much for this video. I learned so much and you've really revived my interest in tea. My wife and I really enjoyed learning and watching
🤯 Outstanding!
Excellent video - I am a real tea fan and only buy single garden teas but had never understood the different classifications before - thank you
Great job! Thank you very much!
