Black Tea Collection

Black tea is fully oxidized, resulting in darker leaves and stronger flavors compared to green or oolong teas. This processing creates unique compounds and a distinct taste profile.

Use freshly boiled water (212°F) and steep for 3-5 minutes. Use about 1 teaspoon of leaves per cup, adjusting to taste. Longer steeping increases strength but may add astringency.

Yes, milk complements black tea well and is traditional in many cultures. It can help smooth any astringency, though some prefer their tea plain or with lemon to experience the full flavor profile.

Black tea contains antioxidants that may support heart health, provide steady energy, and promote digestive wellness. It also contains compounds that may help maintain healthy blood pressure levels.

Black tea typically contains 14-70 mg of caffeine per cup, about half that of coffee. The exact amount varies by variety and brewing method.

Store black tea in an airtight container away from light, heat, moisture, and strong odors. Properly stored, it can maintain quality for up to two years.

English Breakfast or Ceylon teas are excellent starting points, offering balanced flavors that aren't too intense. These can be enjoyed with or without milk and provide a good introduction to black tea's characteristics.
