Black tea
also undergoes all five basic steps, but is allowed to oxidise more completely. Also, the steps are followed in a very linear form; they are generally not repeated on a single batch. The tea is completely made within a day. The brewed liquor of a Black tea ranges between dark brown and deep red. Black teas offer the strongest flavours and, in some cases, the greatest astringency. Black teas are the only style of tea regularly consumed with milk and sugar (though some dark Oolong drinkers may disagree).
Earl Grey tea
believe it or not, is not its own category of tea. It falls into the category of flavoured teas. Flavoured teas include any type of tea—white, green, oolong, black—that has been scented or flavoured with fruit, flowers, spices, oils, extracts, and natural or artificial flavours.
Earl Grey is one of the most recognised flavoured teas in the world. This quintessentially British tea is typically a black tea base flavoured with oil from the rind of bergamot orange, a citrus fruit with the appearance and flavour somewhere between an orange and a lemon with a little grapefruit and lime thrown in. Today’s cultivar of the bergamot orange is believed to be a hybrid of the bitter Seville orange, native to the Mediterranean, and a sweet lime/lemon native to Southeast Asia.
