Black Tea

Black Tea is a classic black tea sold as loose leaves and enjoyed worldwide in blends like Assam and Earl Grey, commonly used for straight brewing or spiced chai preparations. While people typically drink it as an infusion, the dry leaves are concentrated in minerals — for example it contains 30mg of manganese per 100g. Besides being very low in fat and sodium, black tea supplies plant polyphenols that contribute antioxidant benefits and supportive effects on alertness when consumed as a caffeinated brew.
