Frequently Asked Questions
-
Black tea is fully oxidised tea leaves that brew a rich, amber-to-dark cup with bold, robust flavour, the most widely drunk tea in the world. Indian black teas include Assam (malty), Darjeeling (delicate), and Nilgiri (brisk), enjoyed plain, with milk, or as the base for masala chai. It is an energising everyday brew, available as loose leaf, CTC, and tea bags.

-
Black tea is simple and forgiving to brew.
- Use freshly boiled water, around 95 to 100 degrees Celsius.
- Steep for 3 to 5 minutes, to taste.
- Drink plain or add milk, sugar, lemon, or honey.
- Avoid over-steeping, which can turn it bitter.
-
Strong, full-bodied black teas are best with milk, with Assam and CTC black teas being the classic choices for milk tea and masala chai because they hold their flavour against milk, sugar, and spices. Lighter teas like Darjeeling are usually enjoyed plain to appreciate their delicate character. For a robust, comforting milky cup, reach for Assam or a good CTC blend.
-
Yes, black tea contains caffeine and makes an energising cup, generally more than green tea but less than coffee, with the exact amount depending on the leaf and steeping time. It is a popular morning and daytime drink. If you are sensitive to caffeine, enjoy black tea earlier in the day, steep it more briefly, or choose herbal or decaffeinated options in the evening.
-
Proper storage keeps black tea fresh and flavourful.
- Store in an airtight container away from light, heat, and moisture.
- Keep away from strong-smelling foods and spices.
- Use within a reasonable time for the best taste.
- Reseal loose leaf and bags after each use.
