It is generally believed that Chinese teas are mainly divided into six categories, primarily based on their degree of fermentation. For instance, green tea is non-fermented, while dark tea is heavily fermented. Although there are significant differences in the picking and manufacturing processes of each type of tea, the classification based on the degree of fermentation is the most widely accepted.
