When somebody says Black Tea, what comes to your mind? In the last couple of weeks, three different times, three different places I was asked if I would like tea or coffee.
-Tea please, was my answer.
-What kind of tea would you like, Sir?
-Plain Black Tea would be great.
All three times I got a dumb stair: What do you mean Black Tea?
Well, to me Black Tea is any black tea, English Breakfast tea is black, Earl Grey is black, plain old Lipton tea in the big yellow box is black, Red Rose is black, there are numerous no-name brands you get in school or work cafeterias that are plain black teas. Pretty much anything that is not fruit or berry flavored teas, or not green teas are in fact black teas.
So, I ask you, what comes to your mind if you hear those two words: Black Tea.
-Tea please, was my answer.
-What kind of tea would you like, Sir?
-Plain Black Tea would be great.
