Tea Farm

The tea farm is located in the heart of the idyllic tea region of Rize, nestled in the hills between the Black Sea and the Kaçkar Mountains. The district of Çamlıhemşin is largely forested and many areas are under the protection of natural reserves. For this reason the farm has never used pesticides.

Black Tea

The most oxidised and globally consumed tea, black tea, like all teas, is made from Camellia sinensis. In contrast to green tea, the leaves are not heated/fixed after withering to prevent further oxidation but are vigorously rolled to break down the cellular structure and release the enzymes responsible for oxidation. These enzymes then react with oxygen in the air to form dark-coloured compounds called flavonoids, resulting in the leaves changing colour from green to black and developing their flavour and aroma. Black tea originates from China, where it is called Hong Cha, literally "red tea", after the glowing red-orange colour of the brew. The flavour of black teas vary considerably from light, sweet and fruity to strong, malty and smoky, depending on where they are grown and the level of oxidation they undergo.
