Black Tea leaves are plucked, withered, rolled, cured and then fired. The full curing produces a black, fully oxidized leaf that yields a rich amber brew, assertive and robust, characterized by woody astringency with subtle floral notes. Stimulating and empowering black tea is one of the most widely consumed teas and has a long history of use dating back to China approximately 5,000 years ago. Tea aficionados covet black tea for its various purifying qualities and rich, exquisite taste.
