Additional Info on Black Tea: Black tea is usually graded on one of four scales of quality. Whole-leaf teas are the highest quality, with the best whole-leaf teas graded as “orange pekoe.” After the whole-leaf teas, the scale degrades to broken leaves, fanning's, then dusts. Whole-leaf teas are produced with little or no alteration to the tea leaf. This results in a finished product with a coarser texture than that of bagged teas. Unlike green teas, which turn bitter when brewed at higher temperatures, black tea should be steeped in water brought up to around 194° - 203° F (90° - 95° C) Black tea is stronger in flavor and contains more caffeine than other teas, but less caffeine than coffee. Most studies show that black tea has between 40 and 120 mg caffeine per 250-milliliter (about 8-ounce) serving. Black tea is a healthy drink and it has a range of health benefits. It is known to be an excellent source of powerful antioxidants, such as the flavonoids thearubigin and theaflavin. Past studies have shown the benefits of black tea which include: digestive benefits, help fight the negative effects of free radicals to your body, lower “bad” LDL cholesterol, help reduce blood pressure, lower blood sugar levels, boost heart health, beneficial effects on skin and hair health, lower stress and aid in weight loss. Tea is the most consumed beverage in the world behind water; 78 percent of the tea consumed worldwide is black tea; and over 90 percent of all tea sold in the West is black tea. When choosing a black tea to sip, remember that not all black teas taste the same. Just like with fine wine, there are so many variables that give individual black teas their own particular flavor profiles.
