Loose leaf Black Teas

What is Black Tea?

Black tea is dried and crushed which allows the action of enzymes (which occur naturally in the tea leaves) to convert some of the simple catechism of green tea to more complex forms known as theaflavins and thearubigens. These compounds are responsible for the distinctive flavor and darker color of black tea. They are also the well-known 'antioxidants' in tea responsible for much of its benefits. Learn More: Green Teas - Herbal Teas - Rooibos Teas
