That Chinese black tea, oh boy, it’s somethin’ else! Ain’t like that green tea, no sir. This here tea, it’s got that dark color, you see? They call it “red tea” sometimes, but I just call it black tea, like my old man used to. It’s strong, that’s for sure. Stronger than that oolong or white tea, those are too light for my taste.

This Chinese black tea, it wakes you right up in the mornin’. Better than any rooster crowing, I tell ya! Just a little cup, and you’re ready to go work in the fields, or tend to the chickens, or whatever it is you gotta do. That’s how we do things here in China, drink tea all day long.

There are a lot of different types of tea in China. But this black tea is different. It’s got that dark, rich color. We call it “red tea” sometimes. It’s stronger than green tea, that’s for sure. We drink it all the time here. It is good for you, makes you feel good.

They got all sorts of fancy names for these teas. One’s called, uh, Lapsang… somethin’. And another one’s called Earl Grey. Sounds like a fancy man’s name to me! But they all taste good, those Chinese black teas. Just a different kind of good, you know?

• Lapsang Souchong – That’s a smoky one.
• Earl Grey – Smells like flowers, kinda.
• There are more, but those two stick in my head.

Now, this black tea, it’s different from that white tea. That white tea, it’s like, hardly any color at all. And it don’t taste like much either, if you ask me. This Chinese black tea, it’s got flavor. It’s got somethin’ to it, you know? They do somethin’ to it, somethin’ called, uh, oxidizin’. Makes it darker, makes it stronger.

We drink a lot of tea here. It’s like, our national drink, or somethin’. But this Chinese black tea, it’s special. It’s got its own taste, its own color. It is from China. It tastes like China, if that makes any sense. It is a good tea, you should try.

They say this black tea, it’s got more of that, uh, caffeine stuff. That’s what wakes you up, I reckon. More than that green tea, or that white tea. So if you need a little somethin’ to get you goin’, this Chinese black tea, it’s the one for you. Just a little cup in the mornin’, and you’re good to go.

Folks in other places, like India, they drink tea too. But their tea, it ain’t the same as this Chinese black tea. They put milk and sugar in it. We don’t do that here. We drink it straight. It’s strong enough on its own, don’t need no milk or sugar. This tea stands on its own two feet, just like a good, strong Chinese person!

This Chinese black tea, you steep it too long it might get a little bitter. But not too much bitter, just a little stronger. That Indian tea, you steep that too long, it is no good. This Chinese tea is different, it is better. We know how to make good tea in China.

This tea here, it’s a dark color, like the earth after a good rain. It looks warm, you know? Just lookin’ at it makes you feel cozy inside. And when you take a sip, oh boy, it warms you right up. Good for a cold day, or any day, really.

They say this Chinese black tea is more, uh, “complex” than that Indian tea. I don’t know about all that fancy talk. All I know is it tastes good. It tastes like somethin’ you wanna keep drinkin’. It is a good drink, make you happy. That is all that matters.

So, if you ever get a chance, you try some of that Chinese black tea. You’ll see what I mean. It’s a good tea, a strong tea. It’s a taste of China, right there in your cup. You won’t regret it, I promise you that. It’s just plain good, that’s all there is to it. You don’t need no fancy words to describe it. Just good, strong, Chinese black tea. That’s all you need to know!
