Did you know that green tea and black tea are made from the leaves of the same tea tree? Tea is fermented. Tea is not fermented by microorganisms, but by enzymes in the tea leaves that oxidize the polyphenols in the tea leaves while they are being rubbed.

The degree of fermentation also greatly changes the flavor, so the leaves of the tea tree are classified by six different colors in China to determine the type of tea when it is made into tea. Green tea, white tea, yellow tea, blue tea, black tea, and black tea. The left side is less fermented and the right side is more well fermented.

Black tea, by the way, is actually yeast fermented. Some teas are also fermented using fungi. Black tea is called Black Tea in English.

There is no end to the history and knowledge of the tea world, so you can immerse yourself in the magnificent world of tea. Tea originated in China, but green tea is mainly produced in China. Of course, so is Japan.

It is said that the first tea that Europeans drank after tea was brought from China during the Age of Exploration was probably green tea. Later, well-fermented oolong tea made in southern regions such as Fujian became popular, and eventually black tea became the main tea. And so on.

There seems to be no established theory, but the English loved black tea anyway. In the past, Japanese black tea was not so popular in the world, but in the last few years, Japanese black tea production has been flourishing and Japanese black tea has been awarded the highest prize in world contests.

Senrei is also improving its black tea production techniques day by day. The tea has a very sweet aroma and is not too astringent, making it a refreshing tea to drink.

The tea bags are made of biodegradable materials. People often say that tea bags don't taste good because the tea leaves don't dance, but Senrei uses slightly larger bags for the amount of tea leaves. Try it!
