There are four other basic styles of tea besides pu-erh: White Tea, Green Tea, Oolong Tea, and Black Tea. The big difference between each is mainly oxidation.

Some also claim there is Yellow Tea (a minimally oxidized tea to take away some of the green tea grassiness) and Purple Tea (from a special cultivar developed in Africa).
