Flavored Black Tea
Black tea is lauded for its simple yet strong taste and also its enticing color when in the cup. However, there are those who are not afraid to try out something new on their palates. It is for this reason that many companies have come up with flavored black tea that still has the same benefits of tea but with a unique flavor.
Chinese Black Tea
Chinese black tea is also known as Red Tea to the Chinese folk. This is because of the reddish black color the tea leaves give off in hot water. It is considered to be high quality tea but it is actually the least popular kind in China. This variation of tea, however, is also grown in countries like Kenya, Sri Lanka and India. This kind of tea is known as a ‘labor of love’ because the tea is picked by hand and processed by hand by turning to introduce air which offers the perfect oxidation for fermentation, thus giving the tea that unique taste and color.
Japanese Green Tea
Japan is a country known for its exquisite culture, cuisine and most of all for its Japanese green tea. Although it originated in China, it was brought over to Japan by a monk known as Myoan Eisai who was the founder of the Rinzai Zen Buddhism School. There are variations of green tea from this region.
