TWININGS FOODSERVICE
Black Tea is one of the most popular types of tea and is wholly oxidised. The enzymes in the tea leaves are activated when the cell structure is broken by the rolling process. A reaction occurs with the oxygen in the air, turning the leaf from green to brown. This process is stopped by applying heat to the leaves. The main Black Tea producing countries are Kenya, India and Sri Lanka.
Speciality Teas are Black Teas expertly selected from the finest tea growing areas for superior flavour and aroma.
Speciality Teas are often blended with flavourings, such as Earl Grey which is fine Black Tea blended with bergamot oil for a distinctive citrus taste, or processed in a different way, such as Lapsang Souchong, whose leaves are flavoured by laying the tea leaves over bamboo trays and allowing smoke with pinewood to permeate the tea leaves.
