Comments on: 7 Common Questions About Black Tea http://teafinelybrewed.com/blog/black-tea-faq/ Thu, 29 Jul 2010 15:23:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Monica http://teafinelybrewed.com/blog/black-tea-faq/comment-page-1/#comment-459 Monica Thu, 21 Jan 2010 12:12:11 +0000 http://teafinelybrewed.com/?p=142#comment-459 My personal favourite black teas are Yunnan Golden Tips and Black Needle. I do not fancy the 'smoky' aroma of Lapsang Souchong etc. I enjoy black tea mostly after meals as it supports digestion (often substitute it for dark oolongs) by warming up the stomach. P.S.According to Chinese medicine only black tea and puerh are warming for the stomach. Oolong and white tea are neutral. Green tea is negative and therefore cannot be consumed in excessive quantities. My personal favourite black teas are Yunnan Golden Tips and Black Needle.

I just had Russian Caravan for the first time yesterday, was good since I'm a fan of Lapsang Souchong, though my department says it smells like I have a camp fire at my desk. They don't know what they're missing. Nice write-up.
