Having a high concentration of caffeine, it is known to improve the appearance of tired and fatigued skin.
It is the most popular variant of tea among most western tea drinkers. Whereas most Asians prefer variants such as floral infusions, match or green teas, Black tea is extremely popular in the west. It is so popular in the States that, in fact, when people are talking about tea they are referring to black tea. Sun tea, iced tea and afternoon tea are some of the most common names of black tea in the west. English breakfast and Earl Grey are also variants of black tea.
Many people also prefer black tea over other variants of tea due to the energy and alertness it provides. It has high caffeine content which makes it an ideal drink to help people work for long hours alertly. Black tea also contains theophylline which is a stimulant known to induce vitality and attentiveness.

METHOD
1. Fill kettle with fresh water. Do not use previously boiled water. Water that has been previously boiled loses oxygen and can weaken the flavor of your tea.
2. Ensure water is heated to the proper temperature for steeping
3. Warm the teapot and/or teacup with the hot water. Pour some of the freshly heated water in teapot or teacup and rinse. This will warm the teapot or teacup, keeping tea hot for a longer period of time.
4. Pour the water and brew the tea. Let the tea infuse for three to five minutes depending on your desired strength. When your tea is steeped, remove the infuser.
To discover the delicate subtleness of each tea always follow the instructions. Feel free to experiment with dosage, time or temperature when you get accustomed to tea. Higher temperatures, larger amounts of leaves and longer steeping time will result in stronger tea with more astringency.
