Tasting Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are many different types and flavors to choose from when it comes to tea. Black tea is one of the most popular varieties and is known for its bold flavor and robust taste. Let's take a closer look at the characteristics of black tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to note that all black tea comes from the Camellia sinensis plant. The difference in taste and flavor is due to how the leaves are processed. For example, some black teas are fermented, while others are not. The level of fermentation also plays a role in the final taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Black teas are full-bodied and have a strong flavor. The astringency levels can vary, but most black teas will have at least a slightly bitter taste. This is due to the tannins present in the tea leaves. Tannins are also responsible for that dry feeling you might get in your mouth after drinking it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some common flavor notes include: earthy, malty, nutty, sweet, floral, and fruity. Each black tea will have its unique flavor profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
