Black tea currently accounts for over 95% of sales in the UK but it was originally produced out of necessity rather than taste. When traders first began exporting tea from China to Europe, many found the green tea leaves would lose their freshness on the long sea journey. Merchants cleverly fermented the leaves to lengthen preservation. They had unwittingly created a new variety with a different flavour.
Black tea is fully fermented. There are four basic steps - withering, rolling, fermenting and drying. The freshly plucked leaves are spread out to wither and then the leaves are bruised by rolling (to release the chemicals within the leaf).
The rolled leaves are then spread out again to oxidise (causing the leaves to turn from green to coppery red).
The level of oxidation will depend on the intention of the tea master. For the final step, the leaves are dried by heating them in an oven until the moisture content is reduced to 2-4%.
Black tea is typically robust and generally has the highest caffeine content. Some of the popular eteaket black teas include English Breakfast and Royal Earl Grey.
