Black Tea is completely oxidized and does not correspond to a plant variety different from Green Tea or White Tea. In fact, they simply undergo a different oxidation, which allows them to differentiate themselves. This can be confusing, as "Red Tea" can also refer to Rooibos.| Very popular in the West, it is known and much appreciated especially by the English. It has a reputation for having a strong, very pronounced and intense flavour.| According to legend, the first importation of green tea dates back to the 17th century. The ship leaving China for England would have had poor storage conditions for the cargo. Green Tea would then oxidize and turn black, which did not stop the English from consuming it and appreciating it greatly.| Tea comes from the tea tree, a shrub native to the Far East. China is the first country to produce tea. There are several tea-based drinks: Indian black tea, Darjeeling tea, Ceylon tea, Keemun or Chinese black tea.| Appearance of the tea plant | The tea tree is a shrub with constantly green foliage, which can reach 15 meters in height. It comes from China and northern India.| The young shoots are usually downy, but the mature leaves are glabrous.| Case of 16 pyramid sachets in biodegradable plant material | Produced on our site in the Lyon region. |
