How to choose a good black tea?

Good black tea is usually prepared from leaves from regions that have been famous for planting this plant for years. Based on its origin, we can often determine whether it is really high quality and estimate what flavor notes it will contain. In the case of black tea, there are usually no particularly complicated brewing methods, but it is worth sticking to certain rules to get the best out of the infusion.

Place of origin

There are many famous regions that are famous for producing the highest quality teas. Just like in the case of alcohols, whose character and sensory notes are largely determined by the place where the fruit used for their production ripened, in the context of teas, the region from which the leaves come is of great importance. Although tea is called the national drink of China, it should be noted that excellent conditions for growing tea bushes are also found in India, especially in the Darjeeling district. Ceylon teas are also famous, while less obvious, but truly wonderful, are the leaves from East Africa.

How to drink it?

The most ceremonial brewing of tea takes place in Asian countries. It is worth noting that in the case of the black variety, this process will usually not be particularly complicated. All you need to do is get quality teapots or cups, preferably porcelain, and brew the leaves for a few minutes, remembering that the intensity of the infusion increases with the length of brewing. In the case of the most sophisticated varieties, the most important thing is to drink them "sauté", i.e. without adding lemon or, even less, sugar. Only then is it possible to feel the full aroma coming from the leaves themselves.

Why is it worth reaching for good black tea?

Black tea of ​​good quality not only provides a wonderful taste experience, but it is also a drink that can have a positive effect on health.
