While tea does have varietals, similar to wine, all tea comes from the same species of plant Camellia sinensis. The difference between the major tea types (black, oolong, green and white) is in the way the teas are processed after harvesting.
Black teas are fully oxidized, meaning that they are exposed to air for two to four weeks before they are heated and dried to stop oxidation. Oolongs are partially oxidized. Oxidation gives a tea more body and brings out stronger flavors, consequentially, while many of our teas are good with honey, black teas are by far your best choice if you prefer milk and sugar. Black tea should be steeped with boiling water for 3-5 minutes. Oolongs should be steeped a bit less than boiling, also for 3-5 minutes.
Tea Forte’s black currant tea is a full-bodied black tea infused with black currant, and blended with blackberry leaves. The fruity blackberry aroma is irresistible. Delicious with milk and a touch of sugar. Contains caffeine.
