Botanical Name: Camellia sinensis
Country of Origin: China
English Name: Black Tea
Hindi Name: Kali Chai
Also Known As: Black Tea Cut & Sifted, Kali Chai C/S, Camellia sinensis Leaf C/S
Part Used: Dried fermented leaves of Camellia sinensis, cut and sifted
Description: Black Tea C/S is produced from the mature leaves of Camellia sinensis, a perennial shrub cultivated in tea-growing regions across Asia and other temperate climates. The leaves are harvested at the desired stage, rolled and allowed to oxidize until they reach their characteristic dark brown to black colour. After oxidation, the leaves are dried to stabilize their texture and then cleaned to remove natural field residue. The dried material is cut into small, uniform particles and sifted for consistency.
Camellia sinensis leaves develop a twisted or slightly curled form during processing, creating a dark, aromatic leaf material with a firm but lightweight structure. When cut and sifted, the leaves maintain their natural colour variations and visual texture, making them suitable for blending, crafting, and educational uses.
The leaves are rolled, oxidized, dried using controlled warm-air methods, and then mechanically cut and sifted to achieve a uniform grade. No additives, fillers, or processing agents are used, resulting in a pure plant-based ingredient composed solely of dried tea leaves.
Uses: Black Tea C/S is used in culinary infusions, beverage blends, flavouring mixtures, potpourri-style preparations, botanical craft projects, and educational herb kits. Its natural colour, fine leaf texture, and characteristic aroma make it suitable for both culinary and creative applications.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
