While there is only one tea plant called camellia sinensis, you can get a lot of different tea's depending on when you pick the leaves and how you dry them.
You can also ferment the leaves in order to get black or oolong tea. Green tea is just plucked, steamed a bit then dried, and the same for white tea the only difference is that the leaves are plucked earlier in the year.
Some tea's are blended with aroma from a plant or fruit, like the very popular Earl grey tea is black tea blended with aroma from the bergamot plant.
You also have fruit and herbal tea's.
Fruit tea is usually black or green tea with bits of berries or fruit mixed together.
Herbal tea's are either just herbs like chamomile or stinging nettle, but sometimes they are blended with green or black tea.
