Level 2: 11 - 19

Duration: 3 Months from start date.

TASKS

1. Black Tea
Black tea is primarily produced in China and India. Other tea-producing countries that export black tea include Sri Lanka, Nepal, Vietnam, and Kenya. In general, Indian black teas tend to be stronger and more robust, and are often used in hearty breakfast blends that stand up well to the addition of milk and sweetener. Popular breakfast blends like English Breakfast and Irish Breakfast are other examples of black tea. Chinese black teas tend to be lighter and mellower, and are usually consumed on their own without the addition of milk or sweetener. They often contain slightly less caffeine than Indian black teas.

Japanese green teas tend to have a slightly savory, oceanic quality, and brew up a light emerald green. Popular Japanese green teas include Sencha, Kukicha, and Gyokuro. Chinese green teas tend to be milder than Japanese green teas, and brew up a soft golden color, with a light body and a mellow flavor.

☕ Read a book set on or near an ocean.

3. White Tea
White tea may refer to one of several styles of tea which generally feature young or minimally processed leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. In spite of its name, sweet, brewed white tea is pale yellow. Its name derives from the fine silvery-white hairs on the unopened buds of the tea plant, which give the plant a whitish appearance. The unopened buds are used for some types of white tea. It is harvested primarily in China, mostly in the Fujian province, but more recently produced in Taiwan, Eastern Nepal, Thailand, Galle (Southern Sri Lanka) and northeast India.

4. Oolong Tea
Oolong is a partially oxidized tea, and can brew up anywhere from a pale yellow to a rich amber cup of tea. A lot of oolongs can be re-infused many times, with subtle differences and nuances of flavor in each successive cup. Many types of oolong teas, such as Milk Oolong, are grown from special varietals of the tea plant cultivated for many years in order to impart unique flavors to the tea. Oolong teas are primarily produced in China and Taiwan.

5. Pu-erh Tea
Pu-erh tea is an aged, partially fermented tea that is similar to black tea in character. Pu-erh teas brew up an inky brown-black color and have a full body with a rich, earthy, and deeply satisfying taste. Pu-erh teas are fairly high in caffeine. Pu-erh originated in the city of Pu-erh in the Yunnan province of China, and is still primarily produced in the same region today. Only teas produced in Yunnan province can officially be called pu-erh.

6. Yellow Tea
Yellow tea is an increasingly rare and expensive variety of tea. The process for making yellow tea is similar to that of green but with an added step of encasing this also gives the leaves a slightly yellow coloring during the drying process. One of the primary aims of making yellow tea is to remove the characteristic grassy smell of green tea. Yellow tea can refer to Chinese huángchá and Korean hwangcha.

They have a light body and mellow flavor, and are extremely low in caffeine and high in antioxidants and anthocyanins.

8. Roobios Tea
Rooibos is a type of herbal tea made from a plant native to South Africa. These teas are sometimes also referred to as red tea or red bush tea, and are naturally caffeine free. Rooibos has a full body similar to that of a black tea, which makes it a good option for people who enjoy black tea but are looking to avoid caffeine. It has a pleasant natural sweetness, and is delicious when taken on its own or with a splash of milk. Rooibos can also be mixed with other ingredients to create flavored blends like Earl Grey Rooibos and Rooibos Chai.

Yerba mate is a plant species of the holly genus Ilex native to South America. It was named by the French botanist Augustin Saint-Hilaire. The leaves of the plant can be steeped in hot water to make a beverage known as mate. Brewed cold, it is used to make tereré. Both the plant and the beverage contain caffeine. Ilex guayusa is a species of tree of the holly genus, native to the Amazon Rainforest. One of four known caffeinated holly trees, the leaves of the guayusa tree are harvested fresh and brewed like a tea for their stimulative effects. Yerba mate can now be found worldwide in various energy drinks as well as being sold as a bottled or canned iced tea.

TASKS

1. Black Tea
Black tea is primarily produced in China and India. Other tea-producing countries that export black tea include Sri Lanka, Nepal, Vietnam, and Kenya. In general, Indian black teas tend to be stronger and more robust, and are often used in hearty breakfast blends that stand up well to the addition of milk and sweetener. Popular breakfast blends like English Breakfast and Irish Breakfast are other examples of black tea. Chinese black teas tend to be lighter and mellower, and are usually consumed on their own without the addition of milk or sweetener. They often contain slightly less caffeine than Indian black teas.

White tea may refer to one of several styles of tea which generally feature young or minimally processed leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. In spite of its name, sweet, brewed white tea is pale yellow. Its name derives from the fine silvery-white hairs on the unopened buds of the tea plant, which give the plant a whitish appearance. The unopened buds are used for some types of white tea. It is harvested primarily in China, mostly in the Fujian province, but more recently produced in Taiwan, Eastern Nepal, Thailand, Galle (Southern Sri Lanka) and northeast India.

4. Oolong Tea
Oolong is a partially oxidized tea, and can brew up anywhere from a pale yellow to a rich amber cup of tea. A lot of oolongs can be re-infused many times, with subtle differences and nuances of flavor in each successive cup. Many types of oolong teas, such as Milk Oolong, are grown from special varietals of the tea plant cultivated for many years in order to impart unique flavors to the tea. Oolong teas are primarily produced in China and Taiwan.

Pu-erh originated in the city of Pu-erh in the Yunnan province of China, and is still primarily produced in the same region today. Only teas produced in Yunnan province can officially be called pu-erh.

6. Yellow Tea
Yellow tea is an increasingly rare and expensive variety of tea. The process for making yellow tea is similar to that of green but with an added step of encasing this also gives the leaves a slightly yellow coloring during the drying process. One of the primary aims of making yellow tea is to remove the characteristic grassy smell of green tea. Yellow tea can refer to Chinese huángchá and Korean hwangcha.

Rooibos has a full body similar to that of a black tea, which makes it a good option for people who enjoy black tea but are looking to avoid caffeine. It has a pleasant natural sweetness, and is delicious when taken on its own or with a splash of milk.

Yerba mate is a plant species of the holly genus Ilex native to South America. It was named by the French botanist Augustin Saint-Hilaire. The leaves of the plant can be steeped in hot water to make a beverage known as mate. Brewed cold, it is used to make tereré. Both the plant and the beverage contain caffeine. Ilex guayusa is a species of tree of the holly genus, native to the Amazon Rainforest. One of four known caffeinated holly trees, the leaves of the guayusa tree are harvested fresh and brewed like a tea for their stimulative effects. Yerba mate can now be found worldwide in various energy drinks as well as being sold as a bottled or canned iced tea.

TASKS

1. Black Tea
Black tea is primarily produced in China and India. Other tea-producing countries that export black tea include Sri Lanka, Nepal, Vietnam, and Kenya. In general, Indian black teas tend to be stronger and more robust, and are often used in hearty breakfast blends that stand up well to the addition of milk and sweetener. Popular breakfast blends like English Breakfast and Irish Breakfast are other examples of black tea. Chinese black teas tend to be lighter and mellower, and are usually consumed on their own without the addition of milk or sweetener. They often contain slightly less caffeine than Indian black teas.

I’m in.

I enjoy a good cup of tea too! A few different ones I have right now have been helpful in detoxing from Long-C and recovering my memory from post-Covid symptoms, so I’ve been drinking it a lot more the last two years than ever before. I’m not a huge fan of milk thistle (herbal), but the dandelion-peach (rooibos and green) one was surprisingly good. My favorite is jasmine blossom (green)—I even wrote it into my next book coming out this summer (The Cottage on the Hill, part of Springtime in Surrey, a Wild Blue Wonder Press anthology).

1. Black Tea
Black tea is primarily produced in China and India. Other tea-producing countries that export black tea include Sri Lanka, Nepal, Vietnam, and Kenya. In general, Indian black teas tend to be stronger and more robust, and are often used in hearty breakfast blends that stand up well to the addition of milk and sweetener. Popular breakfast blends like English Breakfast and Irish Breakfast are other examples of black tea. Chinese black teas tend to be lighter and mellower, and are usually consumed on their own without the addition of milk or sweetener. They often contain slightly less caffeine than Indian black teas.

3. White Tea
White tea may refer to one of several styles of tea which generally feature young or minimally processed leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. In spite of its name, sweet, brewed white tea is pale yellow. Its name derives from the fine silvery-white hairs on the unopened buds of the tea plant, which give the plant a whitish appearance. The unopened buds are used for some types of white tea. It is harvested primarily in China, mostly in the Fujian province, but more recently produced in Taiwan, Eastern Nepal, Thailand, Galle (Southern Sri Lanka) and northeast India.

Many types of oolong teas, such as Milk Oolong, are grown from special varietals of the tea plant cultivated for many years in order to impart unique flavors to the tea.

Rooibos has a full body similar to that of a black tea, which makes it a good option for people who enjoy black tea but are looking to avoid caffeine.

The leaves of the plant can be steeped in hot water to make a beverage known as mate. Brewed cold, it is used to make tereré. Both the plant and the beverage contain caffeine. Ilex guayusa is a species of tree of the holly genus, native to the Amazon Rainforest. One of four known caffeinated holly trees, the leaves of the guayusa tree are harvested fresh and brewed like a tea for their stimulative effects. Yerba mate can now be found worldwide in various energy drinks as well as being sold as a bottled or canned iced tea.

TASKS

1. Black Tea
Black tea is primarily produced in China and India. Other tea-producing countries that export black tea include Sri Lanka, Nepal, Vietnam, and Kenya. In general, Indian black teas tend to be stronger and more robust, and are often used in hearty breakfast blends that stand up well to the addition of milk and sweetener. Popular breakfast blends like English Breakfast and Irish Breakfast are other examples of black tea. Chinese black teas tend to be lighter and mellower, and are usually consumed on their own without the addition of milk or sweetener. They often contain slightly less caffeine than Indian black teas.

Japanese green teas tend to have a slightly savory, oceanic quality, and brew up a light emerald green. Popular Japanese green teas include Sencha, Kukicha, and Gyokuro. Chinese green teas tend to be milder than Japanese green teas, and brew up a soft golden color, with a light body and a mellow flavor.

3. White Tea
White tea may refer to one of several styles of tea which generally feature young or minimally processed leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. In spite of its name, sweet, brewed white tea is pale yellow. Its name derives from the fine silvery-white hairs on the unopened buds of the tea plant, which give the plant a whitish appearance. The unopened buds are used for some types of white tea. It is harvested primarily in China, mostly in the Fujian province, but more recently produced in Taiwan, Eastern Nepal, Thailand, Galle (Southern Sri Lanka) and northeast India.

Oolong is a partially oxidized tea, and can brew up anywhere from a pale yellow to a rich amber cup of tea. A lot of oolongs can be re-infused many times, with subtle differences and nuances of flavor in each successive cup. Many types of oolong teas, such as Milk Oolong, are grown from special varietals of the tea plant cultivated for many years in order to impart unique flavors to the tea. Oolong teas are primarily produced in China and Taiwan.

Yellow tea is an increasingly rare and expensive variety of tea. The process for making yellow tea is similar to that of green but with an added step of encasing this also gives the leaves a slightly yellow coloring during the drying process. One of the primary aims of making yellow tea is to remove the characteristic grassy smell of green tea. Yellow tea can refer to Chinese huángchá and Korean hwangcha.

Rooibos is a type of herbal tea made from a plant native to South Africa. These teas are sometimes also referred to as red tea or red bush tea, and are naturally caffeine free. Rooibos has a full body similar to that of a black tea, which makes it a good option for people who enjoy black tea but are looking to avoid caffeine. It has a pleasant natural sweetness, and is delicious when taken on its own or with a splash of milk. Rooibos can also be mixed with other ingredients to create flavored blends like Earl Grey Rooibos and Rooibos Chai.

The leaves of the plant can be steeped in hot water to make a beverage known as mate. Brewed cold, it is used to make tereré. Both the plant and the beverage contain caffeine. Ilex guayusa is a species of tree of the holly genus, native to the Amazon Rainforest. One of four known caffeinated holly trees, the leaves of the guayusa tree are harvested fresh and brewed like a tea for their stimulative effects. Yerba mate can now be found worldwide in various energy drinks as well as being sold as a bottled or canned iced tea.

1. Black Tea
Black tea is primarily produced in China and India. Other tea-producing countries that export black tea include Sri Lanka, Nepal, Vietnam, and Kenya. In general, Indian black teas tend to be stronger and more robust, and are often used in hearty breakfast blends that stand up well to the addition of milk and sweetener. Popular breakfast blends like English Breakfast and Irish Breakfast are other examples of black tea. Chinese black teas tend to be lighter and mellower, and are usually consumed on their own without the addition of milk or sweetener. They often contain slightly less caffeine than Indian black teas.

3. White Tea
White tea may refer to one of several styles of tea which generally feature young or minimally processed leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. In spite of its name, sweet, brewed white tea is pale yellow. Its name derives from the fine silvery-white hairs on the unopened buds of the tea plant, which give the plant a whitish appearance. The unopened buds are used for some types of white tea. It is harvested primarily in China, mostly in the Fujian province, but more recently produced in Taiwan, Eastern Nepal, Thailand, Galle (Southern Sri Lanka) and northeast India.
