Tea Resources

For all those prospective tea trolls out there, or even those who just want to try out some tea without having to mess with the whole troll business, here are a few short tea making tips. If you really want to know more we recommend checking out Wikipedia's page on Tea.

There are several types of very common teas out there upon which most other tea types are based. In the tea list below you will notice that after each tea we write the type of tea. Most teas you can buy are just mixes or variations on a small number of types of tea. For your convenience we list some of the common types of tea below and how to brew them.
