Almond tea made with Keemun black tea

Keemun black tea is considered to be one of the best black teas in the world. Dark in color with a gold colored tip, it contains a moderate amount of caffeine. This tea has perfectly balanced fruity taste, floral scent and strong aroma. Great tea during breakfast. Also, it is completely fermented. It does not have the same level of antioxidants as green or white tea. Regardless, it is very healthy, especially if you drink it without milk and sugar and provides a great natural source of vitamins. Black tea reduces fat and “bad” cholesterol, helps dental health, reduces fatigue by stimulating the central nervous system, strengthens bones, strengthens the elasticity and strength of blood vessels. Enjoy!
