    Black tea, one of the most consumed teas in the world, is nearly fully oxidized, which gives it a distinctive flavor profile, as well as a dark color. Originating from the same plant as green and white teas, known as Camellia sinensis, the difference lies in the processing.

    Here is our list of some of the best black tea brands of the year.
