Chinese vendors are having a discussion over translating the Chinese
tea type "black tea" into English. For so long, what Chinese call "red tea" has always been called "black tea" in the West. Now, when they want to market black tea, ie., post-fermented tea, they don't know exactly what to call it. Some suggested using the word "dark tea". But others in China don't like the idea; since it doesn't fully describe the color black, and has too many other connotations. I tried looking for synonyms for "black" but none seem to be suitable. Are there any alternatives? What would be an acceptable name to describe "Chinese black tea" in the West? |
