Black tea - Where do i get it?

fozzybear · 5 Oct 2006 at 12:03

Just read this on the BBC website. More 'proof' that tea is good for you. This sounds like something i need at the moment.

The thing is i've never even heard of Black Tea. I've heard of Green Tea but not black. Do they sell this in the local supermarket? :confused:

Don't put milk in ??? :

.. or just chew the tea bag for maximum effect, saves energy on boiling the kettle etc..

I had some this morning. It's really popular in Germany. I just ask for "schwarzer Tee" - I really like it.

Still can't beat a good ol' brew though :cool:

Normal builder's tea like PG Tips etc is black tea AFAIK. As is Earl Grey and a couple of others.

aardvark · 5 Oct 2006 at 14:34

all normal tea is black tea - its fermented

green tea is not fermented.

i also drink oolong tea, which is half-fermented (the best of both worlds!)

Spot on, black tea is your standard pg tips / typhoo / tesco value. I think the point of the news story you heard was previously only green tea was thought of as having health giving properties - while in reality plain old black tea is pretty good for you too.

Black tea - Where do i get it?
