Hong Yun Black Tea 40g

admin — Fri, 29 Sep 2023 13:34:26 +0000

A rare and hard-to-find tea. This tea is renowned for having strong notes of citrus fruits and is therefore sometimes likened to an Earl Grey. However, our Hong Yun is of course entirely natural, without any additives. Also, this tea boasts an exceptionally long finish, which gives true to the Yun part in its name and can be directly translated as Rhyme, but more broadly in the tea-sense is meant as Aftertaste. Sourced from the same small-batch farming family. Red Rhyme is a luxurious black tea

Bao Zhong Oolong Tea 40g

admin — Fri, 29 Sep 2023 13:13:55 +0000

Comes from the traditional method of packaging whereby it would be wrapped in paper sheets. Usually, this tea is one of the greener oolongs. However, our version is slightly different, because ours is encouraged to oxidize just a little bit longer. This allows the flavor profile to gradually shift away from the vegetal spectrum, until it strikes a perfect balance between vegetal, floral and fruity notes. A versatile tea that is also a top choice for cold brewing.

The cultivar used here is originally an oolong cultivar, although these days mostly used for green tea production. The leaves grow larger and a deeper green. During processing the leaves are pan heated in large woks and repeatedly hand-pressed to achieve their characteristic flattened shape.

Grown in the low-elevation flatlands of the Valley, ideal for attracting the green leafhopper. The picking and processing of Mi Xiang black tea is similar to that of Eastern Beauty oolong, except that it undergoes light crushing and no kill-green phase, thereby promoting and allowing full oxidation, respectively, and thus qualifying it as a black tea.
