Black Tea
Known as hong cha or "red tea" in Chinese, black teas are fully oxidized, resulting in the rich and warm flavors typical of this style. Mainland Chinese black teas offer classic, rich, and earthy flavor profiles, while Taiwanese black teas are renowned for their more delicate, naturally fruity tasting notes.
