Black tea Rajski Ogród 100g Bio-Flavo

Black tea Paradise Garden is made on the basis of good quality oxidized dried tea. The composition also includes mango, papaya, raisins, rose petals, cornflower, and the addition of aroma. The tea is brewed with boiling water and brewed for 2-3 (5) minutes under cover. The infusions are pleasant, light, fruity and refreshing. After brewing, we suggest separating the leaves and fruits from the infusion so that the drink is not too bitter from the excess of tannins (catechins).

Black tea is obtained by oxidation (oxidation) of green tea leaves obtained from the Camellia sinensis bush. Compared to green tea, black tea has less catechins, because in the process of oxidation, theaflavins and thearubigins are formed from them, which give the infusions a brownish tint.
