Nestled in the rolling hills of a region where fertile red soil meets gentle rainfall and ample sunlight, this distinctive black tea thrives in a landscape that balances warmth and moisture. The tea bushes, planted in well-drained slopes, soak up the sun’s rays during the day and absorb the cool dew at night, a rhythm that nurtures leaves rich in natural sugars and aromatic compounds.

Exceptional Flavor Profile

Immerse yourself in the tea’s inviting complexity: a base of rich malt and dark caramel, intertwined with notes of dried apricot and a hint of roasted nuts. The first sip delivers a smooth, full-bodied warmth that unfolds into layers of sweetness—like a slow drizzle of honey—with a subtle earthiness that grounds the flavor. A lingering “hui gan” (returning sweetness) coats the palate, while a bright, fruity undertone adds a refreshing lift. The liquor glows with a deep amber-red hue, its texture velvety and satisfying, carrying a richness that feels both indulgent and comforting.

Artisanal Craftsmanship

Harvested during the peak of autumn, when the leaves have accumulated maximum flavor, each one-bud-two-leaf shoot is hand-picked with care to ensure only the finest quality. The leaves undergo a precise process of withering in shaded areas to gently remove moisture, followed by careful rolling to break cell walls and release their essence. Fermentation is closely monitored, allowing the leaves to develop their rich color and depth of flavor before being dried to lock in their character. This traditional approach, refined over years, ensures the tea retains its natural sweetness and complexity without artificial additives.

Perfect for Every Occasion

Ideal for brisk afternoons when you crave a warming pick-me-up, or as a cozy companion during evening relaxation. Its rich flavor pairs beautifully with buttery scones or dark chocolate, enhancing the sweetness of both. It also shines in social gatherings, served in a porcelain teapot to share with friends, as its approachable yet distinctive taste appeals to a range of palates. Whether enjoyed by black tea enthusiasts or those new to its charms, it offers a comforting taste of craftsmanship.
