Organic black tea - 20 bags - TN020

The Alce Nero organic black tea is a blend of highly selected black teas with a deep, intense and pleasantly aromatic flavour. Black tea (original plant Camellia Sinensis) is the most popular and best known in the West. Alce Nero organic black tea is a fine selection of black teas from the plantations of India that preserves all the aroma and taste typical of the plantation.

Camellia Sinensis, the plant from which tea is made, is an evergreen shrub, whose processing begins when it reaches its third year with the hand-picking of the young leaves, which constitute the best crop.The leaves, after initial drying, must undergo a fermentation process that takes place in a hot and humid climate to facilitate certain biochemical processes within the leaves themselves, which become loaded with aromas and take on their typical dark colour (hence the name black tea). After fermentation, they undergo further drying.

For black tea, an infusion of 3-5 minutes is recommended, but it is good to know that theine has beneficial qualities that can be dosed with careful preparation. The box contains 20 individually wrapped bags. The filters are 100% compostable.
