Black tea is a fully oxidized tea known for its deep color and bold, full bodied character. Through oxidation the leaf develops rich polyphenols that create flavors ranging from smooth and malty to complex, honeyed, or smoky depending on origin and craftsmanship. At Bowery Tea we carefully select exceptional loose leaf black teas that highlight the distinctive character and tradition of their growing regions. All of our black teas can also be enjoyed with milk, which complements their richness without diminishing their character.
