Collection: Black tea

Black tea—known as hong cha, or “red tea,” in China—is fully oxidized, giving it deeper color and more prominent flavors than green or white tea. But black tea is remarkably diverse: depending on where and how it is made, it can be malty and robust, fruity and honey-sweet, floral, spicy, or smooth and delicate.

Explore black teas from tea-growing regions around the world, each with its own character. If you're new to loose-leaf black tea, look beyond the familiar idea of strong breakfast tea: try different origins side by side, and enjoy them first without milk or sugar to discover just how varied black tea can be.
