White tea = most fermented , black tea = least fermented.

Studies have associated drinking two cups of green tea
per day with weight loss.

Herbal tea generally contains
no caffeine and is not a form of fermented black tea.

inviting tasters to note …

Steeping

Each tea requires different heat of water
and steeping times.
Do not steep teas longer than indicated. 
The tea is “spent” after this time,
and can lose some of its health benefits
with excess steeping.
