Black Tea

14 videos • 322 views • by Nioteas TV Black Tea is different from green tea because it is fully oxidized. After the leaves are picked, instead of being heated, they are allowed to oxidize naturally. During this process, the polyphenols in the leaf are converted to theaflavins and thearubigans. Instead of these natural vegetable notes, the tea takes on more of this caramel or chocolaty flavor profile.
