What is black tea
Black tea is a type of tea that is more oxidized than oolonog, green and white
teas. All four types are made from leaves of the shrub (or small tree) Camelia sinensis. Black tea
is generally stronger in flavor than the less oxidized teas. Two principal varieties of the species
are used – the small-leaved Chinese variety plant (C. sinensis subsp. sinensis), used for
most other types of teas, and the large-leaved Assamese plant (C. sinensis subsp. assamica),
which was traditionally mainly used for black tea, although in recent years some green and white
have been produced.
