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.

From the flood plains of the Brahmaputra Valley in the North East of India, this black tea has a distinctive, rich and deep amber liquor with a strong and malty character.
