Black Teas Black tea is the most popular tea in the world. It is the tea most widely used in making iced tea and English tea. At E-teas we offer a variety of black teas all of which are packed loose. In addition to estate named black tea, new tastes and flavours have been created by blending black tea with chrysanthemums, plums, ginger, hibiscus, lemon and many other spices, herbs and fruits. With all this selection, there is a black tea to suit everyones taste. All classes of tea come from the same plant, Camellia Sinesis. The different classes of tea (e.g. Black tea, Green tea, Pouchong tea, Oolong tea) are the result of differences in the tea manufacturing process, and not due to different types of tea plants. However, from experience, tea manufacturers have discovered that certain varieties, locations, and seasons tend to produce Camellia Sinesis (tea plants), which produce better qualities of certain classes of tea. One of the key steps in the tea manufacturing process, that determines the type of tea that is produced, is the degree of fermentation the tea leaves are allowed to undergo. The term fermentation when applied to tea is something of a misnomer, as the term actually refers to how much a tea is allowed to undergo enzymatic oxidation by allowing the freshly picked tea leaves to dry. This enzymatic oxidation process may be stopped by either pan frying or steaming the leaves before they are completely dried out. Teas are generally classified based on the degree of fermentation: a) Non-fermented, b) Semi-fermented, c) Fully-fermented.Non-fermented: Teas which have not been allowed to undergo fermentation are considered Green teas. The tea's original flavour is almost entirely preserved. Most green teas like Dragon Well stop the fermentation process through pan frying while a few will stop the fermentation process through steaming. Tea brewed from unfermented tea leaves have a green to slightly yellow hue, mild aroma, and natural taste. Sometimes these teas will be scented with Jasmine petals to give the tea an aroma of Jasmine. Examples: Green Tea, Dragonwell Green Tea, Pi Lo Chun, Steaming Green (Sencha), Jasmine, White Tea, scented Green tea. Semi-fermented: Tea which are allowed to undergo 10% to 80% fermentation fall into the broad category of semi-fermented teas. Tea brewed from semi-fermented tea leaves have a slight yellow to brown hue and possess a subtle fragrant aroma. These teas can be further classified into three categories based on their levels of fermentation: Light (10% - 20%): Jasmine Tea (Pouchong scented with Jasmine petals), Pouchong Tea. Medium (20% - 50%): Oolong, Ten Wu Oolong, Tung-Ting Oolong, Ti-Kuan Yin, King's Tea. Heavy (50% - 80%): Champagne Oolong. Fully-fermented:Tea which are completely 100% fermented are classified as Black teas. Tea from Black tea leaves have a dark red hue and a sweet aroma of malt sugar. Example: Black Tea. Post-fermented: Teas which are allowed to fully fermented and then water is sprinkled on the leaves to allow them to ferment again are known as post-fermented tea. Example: Pu-Erh Tea.
