The only difference between Black Tea and other teas is the way it is processed. The processing is the only difference between Black, Oolong, White, Pu-erh and Green Teas. The most important step in the processing is oxidation.</p><p><span style="color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-family: Montserrat; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; float: none; display: inline !important;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><h2 id="aa9c11dd-4864-4989-a253-0f988fc2767e" data-toc-id="aa9c11dd-4864-4989-a253-0f988fc2767e" style="font-size: 24px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2;">Why “Black Tea” is black</h2><p style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variant-emoji: inherit; font-weight: 400; font-stretch: inherit; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.8em; font-family: &quot;open sans&quot;; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-language-override: inherit; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">After the tea leaves are plucked from the plant, they are allowed to oxidize. If you remember, oxidation is the process a banana goes through when it turns from green to black. Since Black Tea is fully oxidized, the tea farmers essentially let the leaves turn a black color. Once they are just right, the farmers apply heat to cease the oxidation process to hit that perfect spot where Black Teas get their wonderful flavor.</p><p><span style="color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-family: Montserrat; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; float: none; display: inline !important;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><h2 id="87c3084b-aec8-47ae-9199-c582f40cf6a5" data-toc-id="87c3084b-aec8-47ae-9199-c582f40cf6a5" style="font-size: 24px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2;">What Black Tea tastes like</h2><p style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variant-emoji: inherit; font-weight: 400; font-stretch: inherit; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.8em; font-family: &quot;open sans&quot;; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-language-override: inherit; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Black Teas are a bit easier to describe as far as flavor goes. That is not to say they all taste the same, but they all have a lot of common characteristics. Almost all Black Teas are full bodied and have a bit of astringency. This astringency is why Black Teas are often served at breakfast, where many people want that slight "pick me up" in the morning. In addition, a lot of Black Teas should have a bit of a malty flavor, but that is where the similarities stop. Some Black Teas will have hint of smokiness, while others have a wonderful flavor of cocoa and honey. Then there are Darjeeling’s, which have a bright, citrusy flavor.</p><p><span style="color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-family: Montserrat; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; float: none; display: inline !important;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><h2 id="04cb807c-6e99-477f-a3de-f8d2276a39b3" data-toc-id="04cb807c-6e99-477f-a3de-f8d2276a39b3" style="font-size: 24px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2;">Different styles of Black Tea</h2><p style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variant-emoji: inherit; font-weight: 400; font-stretch: inherit; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.8em; font-family: &quot;open sans&quot;; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-language-override: inherit; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">There are three main countries that produce Black Tea – China, India and Sri Lanka.

There have been a bunch of new studies done on the past 5 years showing that Black Teas have the exact same health benefits as Green Teas. These studies have shown to be inconclusive, but that does not change the fact that almost all studies have shown Black Teas to be extremely healthy.&nbsp;</p>
