Black tea is a fully oxidized tea made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, known for its bold flavor, deep color, and invigorating aroma. Through careful withering, rolling, oxidation, and drying, the leaves develop rich, malty, and sometimes fruity or smoky notes. Its robust taste and energizing character make it one of the most popular and versatile teas worldwide.
Naturally high in antioxidants and moderate in caffeine, black tea supports alertness, digestion, and heart health. It can be enjoyed plain, with milk, or with lemon and sugar, and serves as the base for many classic blends such as English Breakfast and Earl Grey.
