Black teas are made from tea leaves that have been quickly and heavily oxidized. This gives the leaf and liquor a dark appearance and significantly changes the aroma and flavor - most notably in the strong body of breakfast teas. Chinese gongfu black teas are less concerned with strength and focus on more subtle characteristics.
Chinese black teas come from a wide range of regions and styles, with flavors ranging from floral and sweet to rich, malty, smoky, and earthy. Explore traditional Chinese black teas and discover the distinctive character each growing region and tea-making tradition brings to the cup.
