Tea classification

To aid my aging memory....

Green Tea: Dragon well, Biluochun (light green brew)

White Tea (leaves with white buds): Shou mei, Bai mudan, Baihaoyinzhen (light yellow brew)

Yellow Tea: Huangyacha, Huangxiaocha (yellow brew)

Oolong: Shuixian, Tie Guan Yin (golden/orange brew)

Red Tea (English): Darjeeling, Assam (deep red brew)

Black Tea: Pu-er (e.g. Tuo cha) (brown brew)

www.tea-chapter.com.sg has a good summary of factors affecting a good brew (temperature, amount of tea leaves and water, and brew time) plus classification details.
