Fermented tea from Taiwan
A beautiful, comforting tea that will impress you with its sweetness. Hong Yun, the exceptionally large-leafed cultivar this black tea is made from is celebrated exactly for its dominant honey sweet notes strong in both the fragrance and the flavor. It is brilliantly fruity-nectary, the aroma of stewed fruits and honey-lemon blends with a hint of edgy caramel. A perfect tea for awaiting Fall. If you tend to be a little forgetful, this tea will still be gentle on you, and won't get bitter even with lengthy infusions. If you like milk tea, add a little milk for more creaminess.

STEP 1) Warm your teapot. Pour boiling water into a gaiwan or teapot, let it sit for a little while, then discard all the water.
STEP 2) Put the tea leaves in your vessel, pour boiling water over them in a 3g/100ml ratio, and brew for 60 seconds.
STEP 4) Serve. Pour the tea into a pitcher, and then into cups.
STEP 5) Brew again.
❖ The second infusion shouldn't be longer than 20 seconds, but for the rest, you can increase the steeping time (to about 45-60 seconds).
❖ Make sure to open the lid of the teapot between infusions, to prevent the leaves from cooking.
❖ This is how we recommend brewing this tea, but we all have our preferences, so try experimenting to find the way you like it the most.

Different from any black tea I've tried. It's loaded with dark chocolates. Orange Citrusy highlights and hints of tart raspberry as well as bits of honey graham crackers. It has a good balance of rocky minerality as well. It checks all the boxes and each flavor isn't overly dominant. Very impressed. More of the orangey flavor comes forward in further infusions. I'm using a nixing clay pot and it compliments this tea very well.
