Black tea
ingredient
About
Tea made from the leaves of the shrub Camellia sinensis that have been oxidised more fully than those used for oolong, yellow, white or green tea, which makes it generally stronger in flavour. Two varieties of the species dominate: the small-leaved Chinese plant and the large-leaved Assamese plant, the latter traditionally used for black tea. It originated in China, where it is called hong cha, red tea, after the colour the oxidised leaves take on in processing.[1] It is the base of Earl Grey and the first ingredient on the Twinings Original Earl Grey tin, declared as thé noir and zwarte thee.[2]
