Black tea is one of the world’s most consumed teas — bold, versatile, and rich in cultural tradition. At Love some tea, our mission goes beyond selling tea. Through our podcast and blog, we educate and inspire tea lovers to discover the deeper story behind every cup.

In our latest episode, we explore what black tea really is — from its ancient roots in China and the British Empire’s role in its global spread, to modern-day brewing techniques. We talk about how the oxidation process makes it distinct from green and oolong teas, and how regional varieties like Assam, Darjeeling, and Ceylon develop their unique flavor profiles. You’ll also learn about the natural compounds in black tea, such as flavonoids and theaflavins, and their potential health-supporting properties.

Our podcast is designed to complement our written content. After listening, dive deeper into our detailed guide: What Is Black Tea?. There, you’ll find visuals, step-by-step explanations, and expert insights to enrich your tea ritual.

Love some tea isn’t just a store — it’s a home for conscious tea drinkers. We invite you to explore our loose-leaf selection, enjoy our curated blog, and learn more about tea’s place in wellness, culture, and everyday life.
