B l a c k  T e a

Black Tea originated in China where it is referred to as “Hong Cha” or Red Tea due to the reddish infusion color typically yielded by this category of oxidized teas. The process of oxidation involves four basic steps-withering, rolling, fermenting and firing (or drying). The profile of a black tea including its infusion color, body, strength, aroma and flavor depend on the tea bush varietal, the season of harvest, the elevation of the tea garden and the degree of tealeaf oxidation. Our black teas feature the top grades of Organic and Fair Trade Certified reserves including the fruity, floral and amber infusing Darjeeling Muscatels of India to the sweet and spicy deeply red infusing Golden Tipped Yunnans from China.

Health Benefits–Because both Black and Green Tea comes from the same plant, health benefits are similar. Black Teas are especially rich in theaflavins and thearubigens (potent antioxidants) which have shown impressive cholesterol-lowering abilities and cardiovascular benefits.
