Origin of black tea

It is one of the four types of tea produced from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant - the others are green tea, oolong and white tea.
The difference between black tea and tea is in the way the leaves are processed, which undergo a particular oxidation process. This type of processing originated in 17th century China, accidentally when a group of tea leaves were left in the sun for too long.
By absorbing plenty of sun and oxygen, the leaves turned a dark shade of red never seen before. To save the tea, they tried to dry it and smoke it with pine wood: this is how the delicious smoked infusion that we know as Chinese black tea - known as Lapsang Souchong - was born.
Over time it was discovered that this black tea could be stored for a long time and improved with time, forthis was the joy of many traders. Black tea leaves were in great demand by British and Dutch merchants, who clashed in the seas to secure their trade. After the victory of the Dutch, the English had to look elsewhere for the Camellia Sinensis plant and found it in India, in the Assami variety - more robust and had a higher yield. From then on, cultivation and aromatic experimentation with black tea blends began, paving the way for famous teas such as Earl Grey, Orange Pekoe or Darjeeling tea.
