# Chinese Top Ten Teas
## Classification
Chiense teas are classified based on production sites and the processing methods.
A tea name usually starts with its production site, followed by its name used
by the locals at that site. Based on the processing method, a Chinese tea can be classified
into the following classes:
- 绿茶(Green)
- 黄茶(Yellow)
- 白茶(White)
- 乌龙茶(Oloong)
- 红茶(Red)
- 黑茶(Black)
- 普洱茶(Puer)
- 花茶(Flower)
# Classification based on processing method

## Evaluation
According to the data from [a Chinese (Baidu) wiki page][1], Top ten teas were selected by several media sources including New York Times (2001), Hong Kong Wen Wei Po 2002, and during Panama–Pacific International Exposition (1915), China Top Ten Tea Evaluation Contest (1959).
I looked up the classification of each of the "top ten" teas. The tea names are color coded with
their respective tea class.
