Best Answer

Some black teas are a particular style and can be blends of tea from different regions:

  • English Breakfast
  • Irish Breakfast
  • Russian Caravan

Some black teas are named on their region:

  • Ceylon Black Tea, from Sri Lanka
  • Assam Black Tea, from Assam, India
  • Darjeeling Black Tea, from Darjeeling, India
  • Keemun, From Qimen county in Anhui province of China
  • Yunnan Red (Dian hong), from Yunnan province in China

Some black teas are flavored:

  • Earl Grey Tea

Orange pekoe is not a style or variety of tea...rather it is a "grade" of tea, denoting which leaves are picked and included in it. Thus, Assam tea can be Orange Pekoe, or Darjeeling can be Orange Pekoe, or you can have a blend of orange pekoe teas from different regions.

What are the 3 different types of tea?

The beverage we have commonly come to call tea is the result of steeping the leaves of the tea tree (Camelia sinensis) in boiling water. All teas are from this common plant, it is the manner in which it is harvested and processed for market that makes the different kinds of tea. Green - freshly picked tea leaves are streamed, rolled on mats and heated. Steaming makes the leaves pliable and de-activates the enzymes that cause fermentation. Rolling releases the flavours and heating stabilises the tea. Black - Fermentation is what make black tea black, gives it strength and richness. The leaves are placed in a warm moist room were they wilt and ferment, they are then rolled and eventually fired. The firing stops the fermentation process and keeps the tea from spoiling. Oolong - is semi-fermented, causing the tea to be stronger than green tea but more delicately flavoured than the black tea.
