Black Tea

Buy Best Black Tea in Dubai

Tealand Black tea in Dubai is a mature and highly oxidized tea. Unlike others, we use the best tea shoots and young leaves. Originally discovered in the 17th century in China, it’s now the most used tea worldwide. It’s plucked, withered, and processed to create deeper, more concentrated flavors. Then tea leaves are rolled and crushed by hand or by machine. Rolling these leaves helps stimulate essential oils, which determines the final characteristics of the tea. Most modern producers use mechanical rollers, but the finest Black Teas are still hand-rolled. This process brings enzymes – polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase – in contact with polyphenols and triggers the oxidation process. The leaves are allowed to turn dark brown and eventually, when chlorophyll breaks into pheophytin, to deep black. Buy the best black tea in dubai from Tealand.

Oxidizing Black Tea

During oxidation, most of the polyphenols are diverted which also contributes to the brown and orange colors of the black tea infusion. Leaves are fired to stop oxidizing and to remove remaining moisture by bringing its content to 2-4%. Due to black tea’s copper color infusion in China black teas are called “Red Tea”.

Thanks to technological advances the tea-making process has simplified. After withering leaves are cut, then granulated using metal cylinders with cutting edges and then crushed in special rotating machines. This process is used for processing low-grade tea leaves and it became very popular with the introduction of teabags.
