Black tea is the most popular and widely consumed tea in the world, known for its bold, rich flavor and robust aroma. It is fully oxidized, which gives it a dark color and a deep, malty taste. Black tea is perfect for those who prefer a stronger brew with a satisfying depth of flavor, making it an ideal choice to start the day or enjoy as an afternoon pick-me-up.

Whether you prefer it plain or with a dash of milk or sweetener, black tea offers a versatile base that pairs wonderfully with a variety of flavorings like cinnamon, cardamom, and vanilla.
Black tea is rich in antioxidants such as flavonoids, which help to combat free radicals and protect the body from cellular damage. Regular consumption of black tea has been linked to improving heart health by reducing blood pressure and cholesterol levels. It’s also known to boost energy levels, enhance focus, and improve mental alertness due to its moderate caffeine content. The presence of L-theanine in black tea can also promote a sense of calm and relaxation while still providing a gentle stimulant effect.
Black tea is typically full-bodied with a bold, malty, or slightly astringent flavor. Some varieties can have a rich, honey-like sweetness, while others are more brisk and sharp. It offers a perfect balance of strength and smoothness, making it an ideal base for traditional blends like Earl Grey or Chai.
Brewing black tea is easy – simply steep 1 teaspoon of loose leaf tea (or 1 tea bag) in hot water (around 200°F to 212°F) for about 3-5 minutes. The longer you steep, the stronger the tea will be. For a creamier cup, add milk or enjoy it with a slice of lemon for a refreshing twist.
