Vietnam Red Black Tea

Black Tea

Contains Caffeine

$9.00–$144.00

Vietnam is a country that tea is not often available on the North American market. We purchase this one through a significant German Tea Supplier that provides us with a lot of our top quality products. Long, wiry, reddish-brown leaf, golden tips describes this reasonably priced BLACK tea from Vietnam. The cup colour is a red-brown clear sparkling infusion that looks appealing to the eye. This tea is from one of the few organic tea producers from the northwest of Vietnam that brings us one of his specialties. The harvest of this tea originates from the local small farmers; thus, buying this specialty the families are well supported. When steeping this tea, I do not recommend making it too strong, especially on the first cup. Too strong a cup will most likely turn you off this tea and most other black teas for that matter. This organic Vietnamese tea growing at altitudes above 900 meters convinces us by its fine honey aroma and its marvelous look. Golden tips and a long leaf that characterizes this tea.

When steeping this tea, I do not recommend making it too strong, especially on the first cup. Too strong a cup will most likely turn you off this tea and most other black teas for that matter. Use 2 -3 grams per 8 ounce cup, bring water short of the boil, 195 – 200F. and steep for 3 to 5 minutes. Please stay with your cup and make certain it is steeped properly. Way too many cups of tea are ruined by over-steeping and not paying careful attention to the steeping parameters.

Come on into our store and talk to us about why this may be the black tea for you. We will give you a sample to see if Vietnam Red Organic Tea should be in your tea cupboard.

We are customer friendly and we love to talk and drink TEA!

Brew Ha-Ha

Black tea is a variety of tea from the Camellia sinensis plant that is a species of an evergreen shrub or small tree from the family Theaaceae whose leaves and leaf buds are used to produce 'TEA'

Black Tea is fully oxidized in comparison to others like Green, Oolong or White which are much less oxidized. Black Tea is the most popular of all the teas and the most widely consumed in the world.

Nutritional

Black tea contains:

alkaloids, including caffeine, theophylline, and theobromine, amino acids, carbohydrates, proteins, chlorophyll, fluoride, aluminum, minerals and trace elements, volatile organic compounds, which contribute to its odor and taste

The antioxidant effect of black tea is due to its polyphenol content. Polyphenols are chemical compounds that protect plants from ultraviolet radiation and harmful, disease-causing pathogens. Flavonoids are one type of polyphenol. They occur in grapes, red wine, and other foods.
