Black Tea

 

Generally called “black tea”, fully fermented tea goes through the process where the surface area of the tea leaf is destroyed to promote oxidation resulting in the tea leaf turning red. The color of the tea is red, with a rich mellow malt sugar or fruit fragrance.There's another type of traditional Chinese tea that goes through post fermentation with the 4 processes of "kill-green"or fixing, rolling and kneading , piled fermentation and drying.  The color of the tea becomes black, hence the name "Hei Cha" or "Black" tea.
