Black Tea Reviews

Black tea is the "traditional tea." Probably the most popular of all the teas today, black tea is consumed around the world in dizzying quantities. The UK in particular seems home to the worlds most hard-core black tea drinker.

Black tea, as it comes from the tea plant, is a "pure tea." True...many things can and have been added to it, to give the tea a different flavor. But, at the end of the day, black tea is a true tea...and posseess a pretty strong, some might say, overpowering flavor.
