Black tea is a type of tea that is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant that have been dried, rolled and fully oxidized before drying and packaging. The oxidation process gives black tea its characteristic colour, flavour and aroma.
Black tea is one of the most popular types of tea in the world and is consumed in many different forms, such as loose tea, tea bags and ready-to-drink bottled tea. It is usually brewed with hot water and can be consumed on its own or with milk, sugar or other flavourings.
Black tea contains caffeine and other natural compounds that can have a stimulating effect on the body, making it a popular choice for morning picking or as an afternoon drink. Black tea is also a good source of antioxidants, which can help protect the body from damage caused by free radicals.
In addition to its health benefits, black tea is a versatile ingredient in cooking and can be used in a variety of recipes such as marinades, dressings and desserts. Some popular black tea blends include Earl Grey, English Breakfast and Chai.
The most popular black teas we have are from Sonnentor, a brand that sells organic teas from all over the world and strives to source high quality ingredients, working mainly with suppliers from Europe.
