Which black tea to choose?

The choice of a black tea depends above all on the flavor profile you are looking for. Single-origin black teas allow you to discover the distinctive character of a particular terroir and production method, while flavored blends combine the richness of black tea with citrus, fruit, spices, or flowers.

Among the great classics, Earl Grey stands out for its characteristic bergamot notes. Other black teas offer woodier, maltier, fruitier, or bolder profiles, providing many different ways to explore this major family of teas.

How do you make black tea?

Black tea is generally brewed with hotter water than green tea. The temperature and steeping time directly affect its aromatic balance: steeping it for too long can, in particular, increase its astringency.

However, each tea has its own balance. To enjoy a cup that best brings out its aromas, follow the preparation instructions on each product page to adjust the temperature, steeping time, and amount used.
