Learn More:Black tea, or fully oxidized tea, is made from the same plant as green and white teas, Camellia sinensis, but is processed differently. Black teas are traditionally produced from one of two varietals: Camellia sinensis sinensis or Camellia sinensis assamica. Referred to as ‘red tea’ in most of Asia, referencing the color of the liquor, it is called black tea in the West, referring to the dry leaf color. In China, black tea refers to pu-erh.

Black tea can be processed to offer a variety of flavors, from a sweet, smooth cup to a more malty and bracing cup; much depends on the terroir in which the tea was grown and the methods used during drying and processing. Black teas are grown all over Asia, including China, India, Taiwan, Sri Lanka, and Georgia. More recently, tea has begun to be produced in Kenya, Malawi, and other less traditional locations.
