Black tea originated in China, where it was first produced during the Ming dynasty. Later, black tea spread to other countries and regions, such as India and Sri Lanka, and today its distribution extends to South America, Africa and beyond. Black tea is produced in many different leaf styles and flavour profiles, each reflecting the terroir of its origin. We offer black teas from the world's great tea traditions; malty Assam, balanced Ceylon teas, aromatic black teas from the Himalayan slopes of Nepal and Darjeeling, and earthy and complex Chinese black teas such as Yunnan and Keemun. The steps in production include plucking, withering, rolling, oxidation and drying. Depending on the terroir and style, the infusion can have anything from a light yellow to a dark red infusion.
Discover the rich world of black tea: flavor, caffeine and health benefits
Black tea is a beloved beverage around the world, known for its distinctive, rich flavors, invigorating caffeine, and potential health benefits. Unlike green tea, black tea undergoes a full oxidation process. This gives it its characteristic dark color and robust flavor profile. If you're looking for an energizing beverage with a powerful flavor, black tea is an excellent choice.
Among the most popular varieties of black tea, you'll find classics like Ceylon tea and Earl Grey tea. Ceylon tea is renowned for its clean and refreshing taste, often with hints of citrus. Earl Grey tea, an elegant blend flavored with bergamot oil, is a favorite among connoisseurs.
