Introduction to Black Tea
What is black tea?
Black tea, also known as 紅茶 (in Chinese), is a type of tea commonly used in Western countries. It is the result of a fermentation reaction from green tea leaves. To produce black tea, people expose the tea leaves to moist, oxygen-rich air to turn them from green to dark brown—black. Black tea undergoes complete oxidation, while green tea has the same origin but is not oxidized.
When brewed, black tea has a red color, the intensity will depend on the oxidation level during the fermentation process.
Among the types of tea, whole-leaf black tea has the heaviest flavor. Some types have a very bitter and astringent taste. If you have never tried tea, it will be hard to drink with new flavors such as milk tea, black tea macchiato, black tea with cheese cream, black tea with fresh milk, etc. After that, the tea will become sweeter because of the creamy and fatty taste of the other ingredients.
What are the effects of black tea?
Some effects of black tea on health and beauty such as:
- Support cardiovascular health
- Help strengthen the immune system
- Help reduce stress, fatigue, and increase alertness
- Support reducing the risk of cancer
- Support weight loss and reduce the risk of high blood fat
- Support beautiful skin and anti-aging
- In addition to the effects
Therefore, you should only drink in self-control, and black tea is pretty safe for most people.
What are the uses of black tea?
Many people wonder if we can use black tea to make milk tea, and the answer is "Yes." It is one of the ingredients used a lot in making milk tea.
In addition to being known for making tea, we can combine black tea with other ingredients to generate different drinks such as milk tea, fruit tea, etc. Mixing or shaking black tea and milk powder to create a delicious milk tea is the most commonly used way. For the reason that black tea has a strong flavor, when combined with the milk powder, it can still retain the fragrant tea flavor.
In addition, for black tea, when combined with syrups/smoothies, you will create fruit teas with a unique flavor.
