Teens Danish history
It is not quite clear when and how the teen came to Denmark the first time.
It is supposed that the teen has come to Denmark from Holland , and that its introduction and distribution has occurred between the 17th and 18th centuries. However, the specific time is not known. The oldest teapots found in Denmark date back to 1665, which is also in line with the other European distribution of the Asian beverage. [6] Before the Asian tea was introduced in Denmark, however, there was a tradition of preparing local herbs with hot water (for example in the form of chamomile tea).

- White tea is the fresh shot of the tea bush, which is picked early in the spring before the tea bush begins to bloom.
- Green tea is the tea that is formed by drying freshly picked tea leaves.
- Black tea is green tea that is crushed and oxidized by the air. During the oxidation, the tea leaves achieve the characteristic black color.
- Oolong tea is a slightly oxidized green tea, a kind of medium tea between green tea and black tea.
