Key Benefits
Black Tea
- The true origin of black tea dates back to the early 17th century in China. During this time, tea leaves were accidentally over-oxidized during the drying process, which resulted in a dark color and a stronger flavor. This new variety of tea gained popularity and eventually spread to other regions, including India, Sri Lanka, and beyond. Over time, black tea became the most widely consumed tea globally, with distinct regional variations and production techniques shaping its unique flavor profiles.
