Green tea and black tea both come from the tea plant, but they taste and brew differently. Choosing between them is mostly about the kind of cup you want.
Choose green tea for a lighter cup
Green tea is usually more delicate, with grassy, floral, or lightly sweet notes depending on the tea. It is a good choice when you want something clean and bright.
Choose black tea for a fuller cup
Black tea usually has a stronger body and a deeper flavor. It often works well in the morning or with food, and many black teas hold up nicely with milk or sweetener.
Brewing makes the difference
Green tea benefits from slightly cooler water and shorter steeping. Black tea generally handles hotter water and a longer steep. When in doubt, start mild and adjust from there.
