Black tea is made from the dried leaves of Camellia sinensis , a perennial evergreen shrub. Black tea has a long history of use, dating back to China approximately 5000 years ago. Green tea, black tea, and oolong tea are all derived from the same plant.

The tea plant is native to Southeast Asia that can grow up to a height of 40 feet, but is usually maintained at a height of two to three feet by regular pruning. The first spring leaf buds, called the first flush , are considered the highest-quality leaves.

When the first flush leaf bud is picked, another one grows, which is called the second flush , and this continues until an autumn flush. The older leaves picked farther down the stems are considered to be of poorer quality and are not used within the teas on The Tea Temple.

Each pack of Black Tea contains 25 teabags with each 2 grams original Asian tea. This selection of 7 Asian Teas is perfect to enjoy your daily cup of tea or to give away as a present to a friend or family. All Asian Teas in The Tea Temple are suited for daily use.
