What it is

Black tea is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, which are allowed to fully oxidize before being processed. This oxidation process gives black tea its characteristic dark color and robust flavor. It is typically brewed using hot or cold water, often filtered for purity.

Why it's used

Black tea is used as a primary ingredient in beverages like iced tea and bottled tea drinks, providing a distinct flavor and color. Manufacturers may also add it to fruit juices and nectars to create blended drinks with a more complex taste profile. Its natural compounds contribute to the beverage's body and aroma.

Health notes

Black tea is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It contains natural compounds like flavonoids and caffeine, which may have antioxidant properties. The WHO and EFSA have evaluated tea and its components. Evidence on the health effects of moderate tea consumption is generally positive, with some studies suggesting potential benefits for heart health, though more research is ongoing.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Black tea is derived from a plant and does not contain gluten.
