BLACK TEAS
These are the most popular of all the teas, especially across North America where it is reported that 90% of
tea consumed in the western world is black. Black teas, like the green, white, and oolong teas come from
the Camellia Sinensis plant. Unlike the green and white teas that aren't fermented, and the oolong teas that
are semi-fermented, black teas are 100% fermented. Black tea varieties are available in a wide range of
flavors and strengths. All depending on the growing region, altitude, climate, soil, and processing of the
plant. They can range from rich, full-bodied Assam, to mild and delicate Darjeeling teas. Regardless of
where the teas are grown, one truth still remains, and that is the positive health benefits of drinking black tea.
It is reported by Dr. Mitchell Gaynor that "Tea is one of the best cancer fighters you can put in your body."
Black tea is also reported to lower the risk of heart disease, because it prevents the blood from clumping
and forming clots. Also, black tea contains the valuable antioxidants that our bodies need. So, sit back and
relax with a cup of tea and drink to good health.
