about this product
What is Black Tea?
Black Tea is loose-leaf tea from Camellia sinensis, the tea plant. Black tea is the fully oxidized form of the leaf, which gives it its dark color and robust character.
About Black Tea
All true tea, black, green, white, and oolong, comes from the same Camellia sinensis plant; the difference is how the leaf is processed. Black tea is oxidized the longest, producing a full-bodied brew.
