SUNDAY STEEP — Honey-Lemon Wild Black Tea 🍯

Red tea, black name. Blame the British, not me. A warm honey-lemon cup built on ZORB Tea's AWAKEN Wild Ancient Tree Black Tea — five minutes, tonight-ready. Sunday night, warm cup, zero plans.

Q&A

Q: Why is Chinese red tea called "black tea" in English?
A: In Chinese it is hóngchá — "red tea" — named for the amber-red liquor in the cup. English traders named it "black tea" for the dark color of the dried leaves. Both names describe the same fully oxidized tea; both are right.

Q: Which tea does Zane use for this recipe?
A: ZORB Tea's AWAKEN — wild ancient-tree black tea. (Natural product link to the AWAKEN shop listing.)
