What is a Traditional Tea?
Black tea is one of the most well-known and widely consumed teas globally. It’s considered “traditional” because it undergoes a full oxidation process, giving it a strong flavor and dark color. Compared to other tea types like green tea or white tea, black tea has been around for centuries and is a familiar choice for many tea drinkers.
