About black tea

Black tea is a fully oxidised tea brewed here in its plain hot form. This profile fixes the unsweetened infusion rather than a milk tea, lemon tea or iced preparation.

Its flavour is brisk, tannic and aromatic, with strength shaped by the leaf and the short infusion in hot water.

The liquor is clear amber to deep copper-brown, light-bodied and served hot without garnish.
