Loose Black Tea

• Black tea is a fermented tea. More accurately,
  the tea is oxidised during the manufacturing
  process. Once torn and rolled the green leaves
  turn black as a natural consequence of being
  exposed to the air. We have a broad selection of
  the best loose, large leaf, orthodox black teas
  to buy online. Choose from India, China, Ceylon
  and Nepal. Black Teas from India comprise
  Darjeeling, Assam and Nilgiri. We also have black
  orthodox teas from Kenya.

Black China Tea

• China has the world's longest tea producing
  history. Tea has been cultivated there for over
  two thousand years. 'Tea' is derived from the
  Chinese 'Cha' from which the Indian 'Chai' also
  originates. The East India Company first brought
  Chinese tea to England from Canton in 1684.
• In China Black Teas are produced by oxidisation
  of the withered leaves, originally developed to
  prolong the life of tea intended for export to
  the West. Chinese black teas are low in tannin
  and are therefore ideal afternoon and evening
  teas.

Black Darjeeling Tea

• Our range of Darjeeling Tea encompasses first and
  second flush teas noted for their briskness and
  smoothness respectively. The latter is
  particularly noted for its distinctive muscatel
  character. Darjeeling Tea is famous world-wide
  for its muscatel character and floral nose. They
  are justly known as the 'Champagne of teas'.
  Darjeeling was initially established by the
  British to escape the summer heat of the north
  Indian plain. Dr Campbell discovered that tea
  seeds from China would thrive in this special
  high altitude climate. Tea was first commercially
  cultivated in 1859

Black Nilgiri Tea

• The Nilgiri Hills, or Blue Mountains, are in
  south west India and extend from the states of
  Kerala to Tamil Nadu. It was established as a tea
  growing area in 1835 at average altitudes of 4500
  feet. The tea strain grown is mainly the Assamica
  varietal. Having two monsoons harvesting is
  year-round with prime picking in December through
  to March which yields teas with the best flavour
  such as 'frost teas'. Nilgiri has a special
  fragrant flavour more akin to a Ceylon than to
  either a Darjeeling or an Assam. Nilgiri Tea is
  bright, smooth and mellow with a flavour liquor

Black Kenyan Tea

• It is difficult to locate, and even more
  difficult to produce good orthodox black Kenyan
  teas. Most teas in this East African country are
  produced for mass market blends yet here we have
  two teas which offer all-round balanced flavours
  whilst retaining the tangy character for which
  Kenyan teas are renown. In Kenya Tea is grown on
  both sides of the Rift Valley in the highlands
  east of Lake Victoria. These days much is
  produced in smallholdings rather than the huge
  tea estates of fifty years ago. We also have an
  orthodox produced in the Rift Valley

  exporting nations. Known as 'the cup that cheers'
  our range of Ceylon teas comprises teas grown in
  Uva, Dimbula and Nuwara Eliya regions. Ceylon Tea
  is celebrated for its elegant fragrance its
  floral character and its briskness. Depth of
  flavour and style varies depending upon the area
  in which the tea is grown.
