Black tea

Black tea is the most popular type of tea in Western countries, and black tea is also the most processed type of tea. Black tea is available flavored in countless different ways and is the most affordable type of tea. Unlike other types of tea, black tea is allowed to oxidize completely. During oxidation, the natural bitterness in the tea leaves disappears, which is why older leaves, which are more bitter than younger ones, can be used in the production of black tea.
