Caffeine content will increase with length of brewing or steeping time of the tea.

The main kinds of tea: Black · White · Scented · Compressed · Green · Oolong

Black tea is the green tea leaf that has been fermented / oxidized.
White tea is the new buds plucked before opening
Scented is done in various methods.
Compressed done in China since the Tang dynasty, small versions for medicinal purposes
Oolong tea is the same leaf with the centre left green & just the outside edge of the leaf being fermented.

High quality teas are hand picked and hand processed & harvesters aren't allowed garlic or onion so as not to taint the highly absorbent tea leaves.

· Mechanical harvesting affects the quality of the pickings so those are frequently used for blendings or tea bags.

· Flushes (new shoots appear), several in hotter climates - Second flushes = finest teas.

Different grading systems are used in different countries:
- India uses a lettering system, eg. FTGFOP=Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe
- Japan uses the terms "Sencha, Bancha, Matcha, and numbers
- Formosa (Taiwan) uses the terms "Choice, Fancy, Superior
- China uses special specific names and grade numbers. The terminology is _base_d on the processed leaf size = O.P. refers to the size & cut of the black tea leaf.
