   According to what I know, it should be green tea.

   But during ancient time of China, the nature of the beverage and style of tea preparation were quite different from the way we experience tea today. Tea leaves were processed into compressed cakes form. The dried teacake, generally called brick tea was ground in a stone mortar. Hot water was added to the powdered teacake, or the powdered teacake was boiled in earthenware kettles then consumed as a hot beverage.

   Depends what you mean, but if you mean overall, I remember hearing that the most common tea was simply fresh tea leaves, chopped up and put into boiled water. Which of course, would make it green tea.
