How it's used

While often associated with aged tea cakes, it encompasses a broader category than just the well-known 普洱. It is frequently discussed in the context of health benefits related to digestion or cholesterol management.

Common mistake
Beginners often confuse this with 紅茶, which is fully oxidized black tea in Western terminology. In Chinese tea classification, 黑茶 is a distinct category of fermented tea, whereas 紅茶 refers to what is called black tea in English.
