Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong Tea (正山小种)

Black Tea is a fully oxidized tea. The process is halted by exposing the leaves to heat at a desired level of oxidation and making such a tea that is robust and rich in flavour. In China, black tea is known as "red tea" due to the Reddish colour of the tea liquor. Black tea was the first type of tea to be introduced to Europe and the Middle East. Through the centuries, a variety of techniques for processing tea and several different types of Black tea were developed. These many different tea types in the Black Tea family from different regions are known for producing black tea with a unique characteristic aroma. Black Tea has more tannins than other type of tea and contains many antioxidants and polyphenols that are associated with several health benefits.
