Black tea accounts for over 90% of the tea consumption in the western world. Unlike green or oolong teas, black tea undergoes a full oxidation (usually called fermentation) which causes the leaves to turn black and gives them their characteristic flavors--ranging from floral to fruity, nutty and spicy. We carry a range of black teas from the finest estates and growing regions around the world, with something to please virtually any taste preference.
