Black Tea

Black tea is fully oxidised, giving it the deepest colour and the strongest body. The character of black teas vary widely with origin – the var. Assamica leaves typical of India's Assam region tend toward malty and rich, while Sri Lankan teas toward bright and brisk. Meanwhile, var Sinensis Chinese black teas offer incredible range and are often lesser known to Western audiences. Black teas are usually forgiving to brew and take well to milk.
