Black tea production is done in stages. In the first stage, the tealeaves, which have just been picked are placed on nets in wooden boxes with hot and dry air being flown onto them in order to reduce their level of humidity by 60%. The temperature of the leaves in the process of drying, the level of humidity at that stage and the density of the leaves would determine the quality of the tea.
In the second stage, tealeaves undergo a process of rolling, which is done manually or by means of a machine (depending on the brand), with the purpose of obtaining the desired shape of the leaves.
The process of fermentation takes place in the third stage, when humid air with a temperature of 250C is being flown onto the leaves. In full fermentation, the tealeaves change their color from green to black. The process of fermentation is 3-5 hours long and when ending, the tealeaves are dried in hot air or roasted in large vessels to reduce the level of humidity to a minimum. At the end of the process the humidity level of the tea leaves reaches around 3%-5%.
The amount of caffeine in one cup of tea is approximately one third of the amount of caffeine in a 200cc cup of coffee.
