When black tea was first created, it was called "Wu Cha" (dark tea). During the processing of black tea, chemical reactions occur, leading to significant changes in the chemical composition of the fresh leaves. The content of tea polyphenols decreases by more than 90%, and new components such as theaflavins and thearubigins are produced. The number of aromatic substances increases from over 50 in fresh leaves to more than 300. Part of the caffeine, catechins, and theaflavins form complex compounds with a delicious taste, thus forming the quality characteristics of black tea: red tea, red infusion, red leaves, and a mellow, sweet aroma.
Depending on the manufacturing method, black tea is further divided into Congou black tea, Souchong black tea, and broken black tea.
