Black tea is a well-known beverage. Among many teas consumed worldwide, it is the most popular beverage along with coffee. Black tea from China is certainly the best known of all teas. Green tea and white tea are also very well-known and appreciated, although white tea is not an authentic tea.
How to prepare black tea?
To prepare a good black tea, choose a quality black tea and define what you want to drink. In fact, there are several kinds of black teas: pure, fragrant or smoked black teas. These are very much appreciated by connoisseurs; they have a special taste coming from the way they have been dried. Put a pinch of black tea in a teapot and heat water.
Be careful, the water must not boil, it must be at 90° otherwise the tea would lose all its health benefits.
Slowly pour the water over the tea and let it infuse for 3 or 4 minutes and then serve. Not all teas are prepared in the same way: green tea, for example, accepts water at 80° or 85° and no more; otherwise it will lose some of its benefits and antioxidants. White tea tastes more like herbal tea, it is very sweet, it is prepared like black tea with almost boiling water.
My opinion
Black tea or green tea is the most popular teas in the world. Ceylon's black tea is certainly the best known of all black teas.
Since organic products have become fashionable, more and more organic black tea is available for sale everywhere. Even without this designation, black tea is very healthy. It is rich in antioxidants, essential to preserve a beautiful skin and also to fight cancer. The tea specialists will tell you that drinking two cups of tea a day will help keep you healthy.
I will add that drinking a good black tea in the morning and two cups of green tea after lunch and snack will keep you in shape and help with your well-being.
You should also know that, unlike black tea which is as exciting as coffee, white tea can be drunk in the evening just like green tea because they are very weak in theine.
