Black Teas
|
Black Teas are said to go through a "fermentation" or "oxidation" process. The enzymes in the leaf are
released on to the leaf by crushing, which turns the leaf black. The longer a tea is oxidized, the darker
it gets. The skill of plucking the leaves, processing, and in sorting the finished leaves determines the
quality of the tea. See information on leaf types |
