Tea is an infusion made by steeping processed leaves, buds, or twigs of the tea bush, in hot water for a few minutes. The processing can include oxidation, heating, drying, and the addition of other herbs, flowers, spices, and fruits. The four basic types of true tea are black tea, oolong tea, green tea, and white tea. The term "herbal tea" usually refers to infusions of fruit or of herbs
 Tea is traditionally classified based on producing technique:
- Green tea: Un-wilted and unoxidized
- Yellow tea: Un-wilted and unoxidized but allowed to yellow
- White tea: Wilted and unoxidized
- Oolong: Wilted, bruised, and partially oxidized
- Black tea/Red tea: Wilted, crushed, and fully oxidized
- Post-fermented tea: Green Tea that has been allowed to ferment/compost
 Almost all teas in bags and most other teas sold in the West are blends. Blending may occur in the tea-planting area or teas from many areas may be blended. The aim is to obtain better taste, better price or both. Blending may also achieve more consistent taste of the blend, regardless of the variation of taste among pure teas.
Various teas, as sold, are not pure varieties but have been enhanced through additives or special processing. Tea is indeed highly receptive to inclusion of various aromas; this may cause problems in processing, transportation and storage, but also allows for the design of an almost endless range of scented variants, such as vanilla-flavored, caramel-flavored and many others.
