White, green, oolong, and black tea all come from the same plant (camellia sinensis) but are separated by how oxidized they are.

A lot of ‘tea correspondence’ lists make associations based on the *color* of the tea, rather than by the oxidation cycle. Correspondences are quite personal, of course, but as somewhat who quite likes tea I think there can be deeper meaning beyond the color. I associate the four types of teas and other four step cycles: ages, time of day, elements, seasons. I’ve also included the health benefits of each type of tea. Green Tea: Childhood • Morning • Earth • Spring.  All tea starts out green. Green tea is not oxidized. Nature, health and growth. Interferes with the growth of cancers; prevents clogging of the arteries, burn fat, counteracts oxidative stress on the brain, reduces risk of neurological disorders, reduces risk of stroke, and improves cholesterol levels.

White Tea: Youth • Afternoon • Air • Summer.  White tea is 1-10% oxidized. Cleanliness, purity and simplicity. The most potent anticancer properties compared to more processed teas. Good for skin.

Oolong Tea: Maturity • Evening • Water • Autumn. Oolong tea is 10-85% oxidized. Stability, balance, and variety. Lowers cholesterol levels.
