In addition to authentic tea leaves, there are also "teas" made of guava leaves, herbs, peels and petals. They will be named XX scented tea, OO fruit tea, healthy tea and slimming tea.

It should be noted here that-
The name of tea ("dry tea", "dry tea" and "MC Davi" in Minnan dialect) is sometimes the name of tea varieties, and sometimes it is not:
* * Tea name ≠ Tea tree name
For example, black tea does not mean that its tea tree variety is called black tea.
It may be made of tea seeds picked by "Assam" tea tree or "Huang Gan" tea tree.
* * Tea Name = Tea Tree Name
Some tea names are equal to tea tree names.
For example, "Tieguanyin Tea", if it is made of tea seeds of "Tieguanyin" variety, is both the name of tea and the name of tea tree.
* * Tea Name = Tea Tree Name+Other
Some tea names are named by combining tea variety names with other factors.
For example: Frozen Top Oolong Tea, "Oolong" is the variety name and "Frozen Top" is the place name.

Choose "suitable" tea seeds
Any kind of tea tree can be made into any kind of tea, but the quality of some kinds of tea (such as black tea/bagged tea) is not good.
In order to make a tea with stable quality, it is best to choose a "suitable" variety of tea cyanine and make tea with good aroma, taste, soup color and shape according to the standard construction method of this tea.
The same tea variety, planted in different places, due to the influence of climate, topography and soil, the leaf size of tea leaves will be different, and the suitable tea leaves will be different.
(If Tieguanyin tea tree is planted in an unsuitable area, the tea cyanine will not be suitable for Tieguanyin tea method, but it may be more special to make it by tea planting method or black tea method ...)
