About Black Tea

Black tea is a type of tea that is more oxidized than oolong, green, and white teas. Black tea is generally stronger in flavor than other teas.

Black tea is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. The leaves are withered, rolled, and fully oxidized before being dried and packaged.



The oxidation process gives black tea its distinct flavor profile and dark color.
