Black Tea


Black tea is currently the most popular variety in Europe. It is mainly enjoyed warm, but can also be savoured iced as a refreshment. The fame of black tea is mainly due to the invention of the tea bag in 1904 by New York City tea merchant Thomas Sullivan. Recent studies have shown that black tea provides equal health benefits as its green cousin. Adagio Teas continues to sell the finest loose black tea you'll find, and now offers many varieties in a convenient gourmet tea bag as well.
