Black Tea

Black tea is one of the four main varieties of tea that exist today. The other three varieties are green tea, oolong tea and white tea. Black tea, as well as the rest of the varieties of tea, come from the plant Camellia Sinesis and one characteristic that distinguishes it from the rest of teas is its strong flavor. Black tea is known to retain its flavor for many years, while others will usually hold it for no more than two years. Black tea makes about 90% of the tea sold in the west.

Black tea is classified into four different grades: whole leaf, broken leaf, fannings and dust.

Ms. Camellia Tea

I’ve created a new category on the newsletter which I’m calling “Ms. Camellia Tea.” I thought it would be fun to give the category an interesting name. If you don’t know what the name stands for, you might want to read the first post.

The purpose of the category is to discuss all things related to tea, such as its history and important facts.

There is a lot to be said about this internationally famous plant and what it can do for all of us. I know I will be learning a lot from my research and I’m sure you will too.

I know this category won’t cover everything I would like to talk about so I will definitely be adding more categories soon. Enjoy and let me know what you think. - Antonio
