Black Tea

Black tea is one of the most popular types of tea in the world with India producing more than half of the world’s black tea. Black tea leaves are oxidized for much longer than other types of teas like oolong, white, and green teas, giving it a more robust, full-bodied, rich & malty taste. It’s often mixed with other types of teas and spices to produce some delicious blends.

The Most Beloved Tea In India

Arguably, the most consumed Indian beverage has to be ‘Chai’, which is made using black tea, and milk and is blended with some spices such as ginger, cloves, and cinnamon, among others. While the rich, malty & smooth flavour of black tea may be the biggest allure, there are many benefits to drinking black tea, like improved gut health, better heart health, reduced blood pressure, etc.(Ref)

Types Of Black Tea

Assam Black Tea :

Made from the leaves of Camellia sinensis, Assam black tea is heavily oxidised as compared to green tea. Hence it has a deep aroma and is full-bodied with a malty flavour, brisk taste and rich colour. Assam black tea is also called English breakfast tea, Irish breakfast tea, etc. You can also find Assam black tea blends with different tea leaves that include Assam tea. 

Darjeeling Black Tea:

Black tea is the traditional form of organic Darjeeling tea. It goes through several processes: withering, rolling, fermenting and sorting. It has a dark colour and includes sweet, floral, earthy, and muscatel flavours. Taste the premium black tea from 1868 for that malty-sweet flavour. 

Munnar Black Tea:

Black tea is a curious variety of tea that is sold in Munnar. Both the dried leaves and the brewed tea have a dark colour that suggests oxidation. Compared to other teas, black tea often has a higher caffeine content, and it also has a deep aroma and is full-bodied with a malty flavour, brisk taste and rich colour.
