'''Black tea''' describes the most popular variety of [[tea]] in the [[United States]].  It is made by deliberately exposing the leaves of ''[[Camellia sinensis]]'' to oxygen before preserving them by roasting, baking, or frying.  This sustained oxidation produces leaves that are dark brown to black in color, and a liquor that is red to golden.  Black tea preserves its flavor longer than other teas and for this reason it has been the favorite tea of regions, such as [[Europe]] and [[North America]], which are far removed from the countries, such as [[India]] and [[China]], in which tea is cultivated.  Unlike most tea varieties, black tea is always prepared with boiling water.  The finest black tea is produced in the [[Chinese]] province of [[Yunnan]], in [[Sri Lanka]], and in the [[Darjeeling]], [[Assam]], and [[Putharjhora]] regions of [[India]].
