The special quality of black tea reveals itself in its beautiful, unbroken and textured leaves. Careful processing ensures that the leaves are not damaged and lends this tea its deep aroma and warm, crimson colour. Unlike green or white tea, black tea is fermented and the fermentation process is not interrupted as in blue teas. Due to being fully fermented and non-perishable black tea used to be the only variety of tea available in Europe.
HEALTH BENEFITS
During fermentation process the teas’ natural polyphenols are transformed into tannins, which not only give black tea its characteristic colour and aroma, but also make the theine soluble, which increases the tea’s stimulating effect.
