Black tea is a fully oxidized tea known for its robust flavor, rich amber hue, and moderate caffeine content. It serves as a versatile base for both hot and iced beverages, widely consumed during breakfast (e.g., English Breakfast blends) or as an afternoon refreshment. Its bold profile pairs well with milk, sweeteners, and citrus, making it ideal for traditional rituals like afternoon tea and modern iced tea culture. Popular Chinese black teas include Keemun (fruity and floral), Dianhong (rich and smooth), and Lapsang Souchong (smoky and bold), offering flavors that range from elegant daily brews to refined tea pairings.
