 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''.
