Green Tea

White Tea

Black Tea

Oolong Tea

What do they all have in common? They all come from the same plant Camellia sinensis.

What else? Not much! Each type of tea is subject to a variety of processes (sometimes more oxidation, sometimes less, sometimes ground to a powder), resulting in wildly different flavors and effects.

ABOUT THE IDEA
Information is more fun to read when it's beautiful. I've designed these charts and maps with hours of research, reassembling data into a brain-friendly aesthetic. I edit the information significantly, avoiding the "dazzle" effect which occurs when our eyes are battered with too much information. Letterpress makes it even more gorgeous.

ABOUT LETTERPRESS PRINTING
Letterpress is a very complicated and expensive printing method that I am obsessed with. All letterpress prints are slammed with 600 pounds of pressure, creating a deep, tactile texture. The ink gets embedded into the thick soft paper so it won't fade within your lifetime. Read more about letterpress printing here.
