What distinguishes black teas from other teas
Every tea plant originally gives the same type of tea
After picking, several different operations transform the green leaves into black tea: these operations are carried out in the region where the tea is grown.
Withering: Withering consists in leaving the leaves to dry in the open air so that they lose a large part of their water content.
Rolling: The leaves are rolled together, taking care not to break them. This releases some of the sap and juices that give black tea its characteristic flavour.
Fermentation: During this phase the leaves are placed in a humid oven for several hours: oxidation takes place and the leaves turn black. Semi-fermented teas (such as Oolongs) have a shorter fermentation time, which explains their slightly bluish colour.
Sifting and grading: The various operations can break the more fragile leaves; quality teas are made from the whole leaves that remain in the sieve. The black tea is now ready to be packaged and sent to Compagnie & Co, where it will either be packaged directly or flavoured.
If the process is more or less the same in the different regions of production, the duration of the various steps can change and, as a result, black teas with different notes and savours are obtained. This can be compared to wine production: in the same wine-growing region, wines differ from one vineyard to another.
Compagnie & Co has a wide selection of plain black teas.
Treat yourself to one of our Yunnan, Oolong, Ceylon, Pu Erh or Lapsang Souchong teas.
They are conquered !

C'est un thé noir honnête, mais pour être présenté comme un thé très fumé, je ne m'y retrouve pas, pour ma part, je trouve qu'on sent à peine l'arôme fumé, que ce soit à l'odeur comme au goût, il est quasi imperceptible. J'ai maintenant testé le thé de Chine, le lapsang souchong et celui-ci, dans aucun des trois je n'ai retrouvé celui que j'appréciais énormément il y a quelques années et qu'on ne trouvait plus. Si j'ai compris, c'est la technique de fumage qui a changé par rapport à cette époque révolue, mais on y a vraiment perdu en intensité aromatique par rapport à ce que j'ai connu avant. Par comparaison, pour moi, ce thé fait juste figure de thé noir classique finalement. Je peux pour ainsi dire l'interchanger avec un thé noir "breakfast" habituel, la différence étant ténue entre les deux. Tant pis, je resterai nostalgique du thé fumé d'avant.
Comment from Compagnie & Co the 04/06/2025
Bonjour, Nous vous remercions pour votre commentaire laissé sur avis vérifiés.com. Effectivement les autorités sanitaires européennes ont réglementé le fumage du thé. Tout en respectant la législation, Compagnie & Co a toujours importé du thé fumé. Notre Lapsang https://www.compagnie-co.com/fr/thes-noirs-nature/27-433-lapsang-souchong.html#/43-conditionnement-boite_metal_luxe) connait toujours un grand succès parmi nos clients fidèles, même si le gout fumé est légèrement atténué. Nous recommandons aussi notre Tarry Souchong (https://www.compagnie-co.com/fr/thes-noirs-nature/397-672-tarry-souchong.html#/43-conditionnement-boite_metal_luxe) , qui de part les origines et qualité des feuilles, apporte un gout plus fumé que le lapsang en bouche. N'hésitez pas à revenir vers nous si besoin. Compagnie & Co vous souhaite une bonne fin de journée. Le Service Client
