How is it made?What differentiates black tea from green tea is that the leaves are fully oxidized before applying heat and being dried. This oxidation gives black tea its dark color as well as a distinct smoky flavor, depending on the variety of tea. What are its health benefits?Tea is well-known for its health benefits, and black tea in particular has antioxidant properties, which help decrease cell damage in bodies. One study showed that theaflavins in black tea reduced cholesterol and blood sugar levels, and therefore risk of diabetes, obesity, and other related heart problems.
