Discover Authentic Chinese Black Tea Collection
Chinese black tea has a 400-year heritage and remains deeply rooted in tradition. From the smoky pine notes of Tongmuguan’s classic Zhengshan Xiaozhong, to the refined, fruity aromas of Keemun prized by European royalty, to the full-bodied richness of Yunnan’s ancient-tree Gongfu black tea, each variety tells a unique story. What sets these teas apart is the dedication to traditional, hands-on methods: the leaves are handpicked, sun-wilted, and even slow-dried over charcoal or pinewood fires to preserve their natural shape and complexity. This commitment results in whole-leaf teas with a depth and character far beyond mass-produced, machine-processed black teas.

iTeaworld has curated this premium selection to showcase China’s finest and most diverse black teas, capturing varying fermentation levels and distinct terroir influences. Whether you’re a tea enthusiast looking to experience authentic Chinese flavors or seeking a unique gift, this collection offers a refined tasting journey through China’s rich tea-making legacy.

Note: Chinese high-quality black teas are best enjoyed on their own, without milk or sugar. If you prefer a stronger, milk-friendly tea, this may not be the ideal collection for you. But for those who appreciate nuanced, natural flavors, this set is an invitation to explore a truly exceptional tea experience.
