Black Tea

Black tea was first created by the Chinese to survive the long voyage to the lucrative and demanding British and European trading markets. Unlike other teas, black tea is processed to be fully oxidized in order to create the rich and robust flavors characteristic of the teas in this category. Commonly known to be highest in caffeine and in need of milk and sugar to temper its bold and tannic flavors, our wide range of black teas spans the spectrum of natural flavor notes that go beyond strength and require no alterations when brewed by its instructions.
