"\nWhat Is Black Tea?\nBlack tea is the most oxidised of all tea varieties, and like white, green, oolong and pu-erh teas, it comes from the Camellia sinensis plant. All Tielka&#39;s organic black teas feature our signature handcrafted organic black tea from the high-mountain regions of the Yunnan Province in China, a varietal known as Dianhong, literally &quot;Yunnan red tea&quot;.\nHow Much Caffeine Is in Black Tea?\nBlack tea is surprisingly low in caffeine, compared to coffee. With around 44mg of caffeine in a cup of black tea, it&#39;s significantly less than the 95mg of caffeine the average cup of coffee holds.\nHow to Make Black Tea?\nBlack tea is easy to brew! We recommend one teaspoon per cup of loose leaf tea, or one tea bag per cup. Put the kettle on and bring the water to boiling point. Pour and brew for three minutes. Enjoy with a little sugar and milk, if your prefer.\n\nHow Many Calories in Black Tea?\nThere are ZERO calories in black tea, unless of course you add a little sugar (16 calories per teaspoon) or milk (around 30 calories).\nWhat is Black Tea Good for?\nThere is SO much black tea is good for! Black tea is packed full of antioxidants, which help remove free radicals and decrease cell damage in the body. This can help have a positive impact on cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Regular consumption of black tea can also help reduce the risk of heart disease and it may even improve gut health. This can help with inflammatory bowel disease, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity and even cancer. And it doesn&#39;t stop there... how about reducing blood pressure and the risk of stroke too? Did we mention improving focus? Black tea contains an amino acid called L-Theanine which increases alpha activity in the brain, resulting in relaxation and better focus.\nIs Tielka Black Tea Any Good?\nWell, in 2018 and 2019, we won a total of seven awards for our black teas, including Tielka Breakfast, Earl Royale and South Cloud Chai. Try them today, we&#39;ll let you decide, but we don&#39;t think you&#39;ll be disappointed.\n\n"
