What is black tea and how is it different from other teas?
Black tea is fully oxidized, which gives it its characteristic dark color and intense aromas. Unlike green or white tea, black tea leaves undergo natural fermentation after harvest, before being dried. This process develops woody, spicy, sometimes malty notes, depending on the terroir and variety.
At Pure Tea, our selection of black teas is 100% organic, with no additives, chosen for their aromatic richness and finesse. A must-try for lovers of bold, comforting flavors.
What are the health benefits of black tea?
What are the health benefits of black tea?
Black tea is rich in antioxidants, especially flavonoids (theaflavins and thearubigins), which help fight oxidative stress. It also contains a moderate amount of caffeine, making it a great ally for boosting focus and alertness without the sudden jolt of coffee.
Some studies also suggest a role in regulating cholesterol and supporting cardiovascular metabolism. Drinking high-quality black tea, like Pure Tea’s, means enjoying great taste and daily wellness, naturally.
Where does our Assam black tea come from, and what makes it so special?
Where does our Assam black tea come from, and what makes it so special?
Our Assam black tea is grown in the Assam region of northeast India, renowned for its strong, full-bodied black teas. The tropical climate, fertile soil, and Himalayan mists provide ideal conditions for producing a tea with intense malty, slightly spicy notes.
At Pure Tea, we select only certified organic plantations, where everything is done by hand, respecting both tradition and the environment. This Assam black tea is the perfect base for our energizing blends, such as our Lemon Ginger Mate Black Tea.
Does black tea contain theine (caffeine) and how can you measure it?
Does black tea contain theine (caffeine) and how can you measure it?
Yes, black tea naturally contains theine, which is actually the same molecule as caffeine. A cup of black tea contains on average 40 to 60 mg of caffeine, depending on the variety, amount brewed, and steeping time.
Good news: unlike coffee, the caffeine in tea is released more slowly thanks to the presence of tannins. This means a gentler, longer-lasting effect without spikes or crashes in energy.
For a lighter version, you can do a quick first steep (30 seconds), discard it, then re-steep the same leaves.
How can you recognize a high-quality black tea?
How can you recognize a high-quality black tea?
You can spot quality black tea by several features:
- Whole or well-rolled leaves, free of dust
- A rich aroma, with no musty or damp notes
- A bright liquor, amber to deep red once brewed
- A flavor, without excessive bitterness or metallic aftertaste
At Pure Tea, we work directly with passionate producers, select freshly harvested teas, and refuse industrial blends. The result: a premium black tea, organic, pure, and truly delicious.
Is black tea suitable for children and pregnant women?
Is black tea suitable for children and pregnant women?
Black tea naturally contains caffeine (on average 40 to 60 mg per cup), so it’s not recommended for children under 12.
For pregnant women, moderate consumption is possible, as long as you don’t exceed 200 mg of caffeine per day from all sources (tea, coffee, chocolate, etc.). One to two cups of black tea can be part of a balanced lifestyle during pregnancy, as long as you talk to your healthcare provider.
At Pure Tea, all our teas are organic, pesticide-free, and additive-free, making them safer for occasional consumption in this context.
How should you store your black tea to preserve its flavor?
How should you store your black tea to preserve its flavor?
Black tea is sensitive to humidity, light, and strong odors. To keep it fresh as long as possible, we recommend storing it in an airtight container, away from direct light and temperature fluctuations.
Avoid keeping it in the fridge or near strong-smelling spices.
All our Pure Tea blends are packaged in eco-designed, opaque, resealable bags, specially made to preserve freshness and flavor intensity right up to the last cup.
