Black tea is one of our favourite brews – bold, rich, and full of character. Made from the carefully harvested leaves of the Camellia Sinensis plant, black tea undergoes a full oxidation process that sets it apart from green or white teas. The leaves are plucked, withered, rolled, and fully oxidised before being dried – a method that gives black tea its distinctive dark leaves, deep amber-red liquor, and robust flavour.
Thanks to this fermentation process, black tea typically contains more caffeine than green tea, making it a great morning pick-me-up. It’s also packed with tannins and amino acids, giving it a smooth, satisfying finish, even with slightly fewer antioxidants than its unoxidised counterparts.
Whether you love timeless black tea blends like English Breakfast, or prefer single-origin favourites such as Darjeeling, Assam, or Ceylon, there’s a cup to suit every taste. From your energising morning brew to a calming afternoon cup, black tea is the perfect companion throughout the day.
