Whittard of Chelsea Black Tea

Whittard of Chelsea black tea

Black tea comes from China, not India. It appeared in the 16th century and is called red tea because of the color it gives to water. There's a legend about black tea. In the 17th century, a ship from China carried green tea directly to England. The tea was stored at the bottom of the ship in the heat and the agonies, and the leaves oxidized, rendering them dead. The English would have eaten them anyway, preferring them to green tea for their tea-time.
