Ingredients
Black tea, just like green tea, comes from the Camellia Sinensis plant.
- - After plucking, the leaves are laid on drying trays & withered to remove some moisture and make more pliable
- - The leaves are then rolled and may be cut
- - "Broken" leaves are laid out & a heady mixture of warm air, aromatic juices, bacteria & enzymes leads to oxidation (a natural reaction that affects strength & colour)
- - Oxidation is stopped by firing (with hot air) when the leaves are the right (brown) colour depending on the region
- - The leaves turn black as they dry
- ... and finally, are sorted or graded by size
