Black Tea is a tea created from the oldest leaves of one of the shrubs of the Camellia Sinensis species. However, Black Tea has the highest percentage of oxidation. This difference will make its flavour more intense compared to other teas from the same species. After harvesting, the leaves undergo an osmosis process that lasts a maximum of 20 hours. Finally, they are rolled manually or by machines. At this stage, Black Tea will begin its oxidation process to obtain its unique colour and flavour characteristics. When oxidized, the leaves will go to natural drying for later consumption.

Regarding its properties, Black Tea can help reduce the feeling of fatigue, weight loss, good digestion and metabolism regulation. Black Tea is considered an excellent natural stimulant due to the strong presence of caffeine in its composition. For this reason, drinking Black Tea should be moderated because he has power over body energy, especially when taken close to bedtime. That's why it's a good option for those who want to be focused on their daily activity.
