Made with the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, black tea is a true tea. Black tea is more oxidized than oolong, green and white teas which makes it stronger in flavour.

Black teas are processed in either of two ways, CTC (Crush, Tear, Curl) or Orthodox. The CTC method is efficient and effective for producing a better quality product from medium and lower quality leaves of consistently dark color. Orthodox processing is done either by machines or by hand. Hand processing is used for high quality teas.

While the methods employed in orthodox processing differ by tea type, this style of processing results in the high quality loose tea sought by many connoisseurs. Black tea retains its flavour for several years.

It’s also one of the most popular drinks in the world, particularly so in Great Britain and Ireland. In fact, Brits drink approximately 165 million cups of black tea every single day. Due to the slightly bitter and astringent taste, many people enjoy the drink together with a small amount of milk.
