Black Teas

« Previous  1 2 3 Next »
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.
