Like any type of tea, even dark or black tea, comes from the Camellia sinensis plant. The difference between the various types of tea depends on the processing of the leaves, and in the case of black tea by a process of complete oxidation, discovered and implemented later than other types of tea. The origins of black tea date back to the Chinese Ming dynasty (1368-1644), a period in which producers began to experiment with different methods of processing tea leaves. One of these methods involved oxidizing the leaves for a longer period of time, which gave rise to a tea with a darker color and a more intense flavor. It became known as hong cha, or "red tea" in Chinese, which is also linked to a legend in which the discovery occurred by chance, when the leaves were left in the air and then smoked for unpredictable needs. Once the method was perfected, different stages of production of black tea were developed: withering the freshly picked leaves, rolling, oxidation and drying. Oxidation is crucial as it defines the character of black tea, thanks to the chemical reactions of the leaves. In the presence of oxygen, the enzymes contained in the leaves react with the polyphenols, generating compounds that define the color and flavor of tea. The idea of ​​flavoring black tea with floral or fruit ingredients is also ancient, and when the tea trade began to the West, little by little blends began to be created. Up to the modern ones, whichinclude combinations such as black tea pomegranate and blueberry. Black tea contraindications Although tea consumption is considered safe for adults, some effects should be kept in mind, due to the caffeine content of black tea. It can be problematic for people sensitive to this alkaloid, or if consumed in excessive doses.
