Black tea is prepared either with or without milk and also with masala. It is consumes by the more than three fourth percent of population of tea beverage drinkers in the world, Hence it is the most popular hot tea drink than coffee in some countries.[1] Black tea is stronger as compared to other ones. Green tea is more delicate and less strong than Black Tea.[2] Black teas should be prepared with boiling water and steeped 3-4 minutes. Black teas that will be served with milk or lemon should be steeped a little longer, 4-5 minutes.[3]
