Black Tea (Camellia sinensis) is a fully oxidized tea known for its bold, robust flavor and dark amber color. Black tea is rich in flavonoids, which are thought to have heart health benefits. It is often consumed with milk and sugar, and it forms the base of many popular blends, including Earl Grey and English Breakfast. Black tea is also used in cooking and baking to add depth to marinades and desserts. Common varieties include Assam, Darjeeling, and Ceylon. Assam tea is known for its strong, malty flavor, making it ideal for breakfast blends. Darjeeling tea has a delicate, floral aroma and is often referred to as the ‘champagne of teas.’ Ceylon tea is versatile, with a bright, citrusy flavor that works well in both hot and iced teas.
