Loose Leaf Black Tea Collection – Premium Blends | VAHDAM® * Loose Leaf | 50 Cups

Centuries later, black tea—specifically the smoky —was born from necessity during the Ming Dynasty. When soldiers passing through a village delayed a local harvest, farmers had to dry the leaves over pine fires to speed up the process, creating the first oxidized "black" tea. Another myth suggests that a shipment of green tea heading for England accidentally oxidized in the heat of a ship's hull, and the British loved the new "ruined" flavor so much it became their national drink. * 5 reviews
