BLACK TEA comprises a fully oxidized category of tea known for its robust flavor, dark color, and higher caffeine content compared to other tea varieties. This category includes single-origin teas like Assam, Darjeeling, and Ceylon, each with distinct regional characteristics, as well as blended varieties such as English Breakfast and Earl Grey that combine leaves from different regions for consistent flavor profiles. These teas undergo a complete oxidation process that develops their strong, malty, and sometimes smoky or fruity notes, making them ideal for consumption with milk and sugar. Available in loose-leaf, tea bags, and ready-to-drink formats, black tea serves as a stimulating beverage that provides both morning energy and afternoon comfort. Its versatility allows for hot brewing or iced preparations, catering to diverse consumer preferences across cultures while maintaining its position as one of the most widely consumed tea types globally. The category continues to evolve with flavored innovations and premium single-estate offerings that maintain traditional characteristics while meeting modern taste preferences.
