PEREGRINE MOUNTAIN |
Black tea is a fully-fermented tea and its infusion has a bright reddish colour, a rich aroma and flavour. It is considered that green and white teas are generally have more polyphenols than other types of tea, but note that some high grown luxury black teas have higher levels of antioxidants than low grown green and white teas. One cup of a black tea contains approximately 50mg of caffeine, depending on the strength and size of the cup (coffee: 65-175mg of caffeine per cup).
The largest and widely known Black Tea production countries and regions are Assam, Darjeeling, Sikkim, Nilgiris, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda. Geographic position of a tea estate is very important for developing the profile and aroma of the particular tea. Growing altitude, temperature, humidity, rainfall, sunshine, soil composition and many other factors are directly linked to tea liquors. For example, DARJEELING region is located high in the Himalayas at an average altitude of 2143m above sea level and produces light liquoring teas with a regional character known as muscatel. Estates in the neighbouring regions of Nepal and Sikkim produce teas that are similar in character but usually slightly stronger in the cup. In Darjeeling, the most delicate tea is produced from leaves plucked in early spring - First Flush. Steeping Time: Brew whole leaf black teas for 5 minutes. Shelf life of nitrogen-flushed and vacuum sealed packs: 20-22 years. |
