What are Black Tea Bags?

Black Tea Bags are organic black tea from Camellia sinensis, the tea plant, in 25 tea bags. Black tea is the fully oxidized form of the leaf, which gives it its dark color and robust character.

About Black Tea

All true tea, black, green, white, and oolong, comes from the same Camellia sinensis plant; the difference is how the leaf is processed. Black tea is oxidized the longest, producing a full-bodied brew that takes milk well.

How to brew Black Tea Bags

Use one tea bag per cup. Pour hot water over the bag and steep to taste, then lift the bag out. See the brewing chart below for the water temperature and steep time we suggest for this style. Each pouch holds 25 tea bags (net wt 2 oz (57 g)), and the bags are unbleached paper with no staples, strings, or tags.
