There are two major varieties used for tea, Chinese tea, ''Camellia sinensis'' var. ''sinensis'', and Assam tea, ''Camellia sinensis'' var. ''assamica''.  

Beside this two there is also ''Camellia sinensis'' var. ''pubilimba'' and ''Camellia sinensis'' var. ''dehungensis''. ''Pubilimba'' is also known as Mao Cha (毛茶) and used for Pu-Erh tea. It's unclear whether those two varietal are own species or just a spontaneous hybrid of assamica and sinensis. The same applies for the varietal called "java bush", ''Camellia sinensis'' var. ''parvifolia'' or ''Camellia sinensis'' var. ''cambodiensis''.
