So, what comes to your mind when you think or talk about tea, well, the aroma, the taste, tradition, or social gathering?

Well, all these beautiful elements are associated with the wonderful beverage called Tea.

So, in today's lesson we are gonna look at the different types of tea, in fact, the most popular ones in the world

because many people have no clue how to serve different types of tea or how a type of tea should be taken.

So, that's what you are gonna learn, and let's get started.

The first one is English Breakfast.

Well, English Breakfast is one of the most common type of tea that you would find in the world.

Well, it was initially just called as Breakfast Tea and it was developed by the tea master.

He was, in fact, a Scottish tea master, his name was Drysdale.

So, Drysdale was the one who developed this type of tea, and, in fact, it is a blend of fine black teas including the Keemun Tea.

So, why the name English Breakfast?

Well, eventually this type of tea was extremely popular in England,

so the London, you know, tea shops or the tea stores renamed it to English Breakfast

because it is said that the aroma of this tea is very similar to a fresh hot toast from the oven.

So, well, maybe that's exactly the reason why it is named as English Breakfast Tea.

And how this tea should be served? Well, it should be served with milk or lemon.

But please do not mix lemon and milk together because that would curdle the milk, right?

So, either it can be served with milk or with lemon, okay?

Now let's have a look at the second one, Irish Breakfast. Well, surprisingly, Irish are great tea drinkers.

Well, I learned it when I was looking for the information about tea. I didn't know that.

So, Irish people are great tea drinkers and they brew their tea very strong.

So, the flavor of Irish Breakfast Tea is extremely robust, and because of its strong taste, people tend to add sugar, and, of course, it's taken with milk.

But never with cream; cream is for coffee, okay?

So, you add milk and sugar to this type of tea.

In fact, you know there's a saying among the Irish people

that "A perfect cup of tea should be as strong to drop a mouse from it."

Pretty interesting, right?

So, that's a famous saying, so, yes, the aroma of Irish Breakfast Tea is extremely robust and strong. Okay?

The next one, Earl Grey.

Well, that's one of my favorites.

Well, Earl Grey Tea...well, there was this man named Earl Grey,

who was also a Prime Minister years ago under William IV.

Well, of course, this type of tea is named after him.

The reason because it's believed that a Chinese Mandarin offered a blend of black tea in order to influence trade relations.

So, that's a possibility that why this type of tea was named as Earl Grey.

So, in fact, it is a mix of black tea, it's the blend of black tea and bergamot oil.

And it's served plain, without sugar, without milk, without cream; it's just served plain.

Okay, that's Earl Grey for you.

And the next one that we have is the Darjeeling Tea.

Well, Darjeeling Tea is grown in the mountain areas of India.

And the high altitude, the mountain altitude, and the misty, the very gentle misty rains are perfect combination to grow this unique flavor, or a light-flavored tea.

So, Darjeeling Tea is extremely light-flavored.

And, in fact, even this tea is to be taken without milk, there are a few people who like Darjeeling tea to be served with a dash of lemon.

But without lemon, without milk, this tea is just perfect because it has a unique aroma that people love it.

So, that's Darjeeling tea for you.

Another type is Oolong Tea.

Well, Oolong tea belongs to China.

It was grown in China but now it's very much grown in Taiwan, and it's called as Elegant Tea.

In fact, it has another name to it as well.

It's also known as Champagne of teas.

So, again, Oolong tea has this amazing aroma; it's across between black tea and the green tea, and it has a very unique aroma to it.

In fact, the tea leaves are fermented.

They are fermented to achieve this delicious fruity aroma or delicious fruity taste to it.

So, if you haven't tried Oolong tea then you should because it's different and it's just amazing.

And, the next one, Green Tea.

Well, I am gonna explain Green Tea and White Tea together because they are pretty similar to each other.

Both the tea are made out of Camellia sinensis plant, okay, which is famously known as the tea plant.

And they are very lightly processed so that the leaves of this type of tea, they are made out of Camellia sinensis plant.

They are very lightly processed to prevent oxidation, and they are lightest and the purest form of the teas.

And, in fact, has extremely wonderful health benefits.

So, if, in case you are very concerned about your health, you wanna be fit, you want glowing skin, then Green Tea and White Tea are just perfect. Okay?

And then the last one that we have for you is Masala Chai.

It's also called as Indian Tea with spices, and it is prepared by boiling water, milk, and the tea, of course.

It's either in the form of tea bags or tea powder, and a lot of spices are added while boiling this, cardamom, cinnamon, pepper, and even ginger.

So, all these spices are added in order to make the Masala chai.

It's delicious; it has a very different aroma, a very Indian aroma to it, and also has a lot of health benefits.
