In the processing of black tea, after harvesting, the leaves are left to "wither". The next step involves rolling, twisting, and pressing the leaves, thereby breaking the existing cell walls, to allow enzymes to come into contact with polyphenols and air - causing oxidation. After the oxidation process is complete, the leaves are dried and packaged.Processing: Unlike other teas, the production of black tea requires the leaves to be fully oxidized.
Flavor: The flavor varies with leaf size, processing, and region - try it and discover your favorite! A good quality black tea (long leaf) should have a full-bodied yet smooth, clear, and "coppery" taste.
Benefits: Accelerates metabolism, aiding in weight loss processes; helps prevent cardiovascular diseases; beneficial for skin, bones, digestive system, and immune system.
