What Are the Types of Tea? Types of Tea and Their Characteristics

Tea, I believe most people in our country are familiar with it. Tea culture has a long history of development in our country since ancient times. The deepest impression the editor has of tea is that when I was little, there were several tea trees in the front yard of my grandmother's house.
