Loose Leaf Black Tea Leaves

Loose leaf black tea is made from hand-picked, fully oxidised leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. The leaves are fully oxidized which gives black tea its dark colour, bold flavour, and caffeine content.

Black tea contains moderate caffeine which enhances alertness and cognitive function. It is rich in polyphenols, specifically theaflavins and thearubigins, which act as antioxidants that combat free radicals and protect cells from oxidative damage. Additionally, it contains trace minerals such as potassium, magnesium, and manganese, supporting heart health, nerve function, and overall wellness.

Black tea may support health in several ways:
Mental alertness and cognitive focus due to caffeine and L-theanine.
Heart health support: Polyphenols may improve blood vessel function and help maintain healthy cholesterol levels.
Digestive support: Traditionally used to aid digestion and relieve mild gastrointestinal discomfort.
Antioxidant protection: Reduces oxidative stress and may slow cellular aging.

CAUTION: Excessive caffeine intake can cause insomnia, jitteriness, or heart palpitations, so moderation is advised, especially for those sensitive to caffeine or pregnant women.

Use 1–2 teaspoons per cup and steep in hot water at 90–95°C for 3–5 minutes. Avoid over-steeping to prevent bitterness from tannins. Black tea can be enjoyed plain, with milk, lemon, or honey, but limiting added sugar preserves its health benefits.
