About Chacodex

What we cover

Chacodex is an independent, ad-supported tea encyclopedia. Every tea on the site is a true tea - made from the Camellia sinensis plant - covering all seven traditional categories: green, black, oolong, white, pu-erh, yellow, and dark tea. We also document the origins, terroirs, and processing traditions behind every variety.

Editorial standards

All tea profiles are researched from primary sources, vendor documentation, and academic literature on tea botany and processing. Brewing recommendations follow industry standards from leading tea associations.
