A Chinese proverb says, “Better do not eat grain over three days than do not drink tea over one day.” Tea is one of the most beloved and popular drinks in the world.
The ancient Chinese said, “Tea enhances a spirit, calms down a heart, removes fatigue, stimulates thoughts, prevents fall into laziness, facilitates and refreshes a body, and clarifies susceptibility.” They also precept – “Drink this wonderful drink slowly, and you will get the power to fight troubles which depress our life.”
Tea is something special in the life of Chinese people. This is probably the only product in the world’s history that humans have used for almost five thousand years.
The world of tea is so different, and it is very easy to get lost there. Generally, tea is classified as black and green. Chinese classification includes such major kinds of tea as green, red, yellow, white, and Pu Erh.
We introduce the most famous kinds of tea very briefly:

Pu-Erh (普洱 – Pu Erh or Poher) is a black Chinese tea that is one of the most valuable kinds of tea.
