Oriental lore tells us that a distinguished Chinese philosopher first smelled this wondrous aroma when tea leaves fell from the sky into his pot of boiling water. Thus was born the legacy of China Black Tea that has endured for centuries. The leaves of the tea plant are first hand-picked. Then a special drying process turns them a rich dark color, also producing a luscious Oriental aroma and flavor. we hope you enjoy our deliciously distinguished Black Tea as well as the rest of our family of great tasting Good Earth Teas.
