Black Tea Guides

Black tea is fully oxidized, which gives it a deep amber cup and a malty, brisk character that stands up to milk and sugar. In these guides we cover the classic styles, from Assam and Darjeeling to Chinese black teas, Earl Grey and smoky Lapsang Souchong.

Learn how to brew a cup that is strong but not bitter, how breakfast blends differ, and which black teas suit lattes and iced tea. Browse our black tea collection to find your next favorite.
