Taiwanese Black Tea Hong Yu

Fermented tea from Taiwan

Taiwan was one of the leading black tea producing countries as it exported as much as 78,000 tons annually in 1952. Afterward, it lost its global competitiveness because of its industrial affluence, higher labor costs, and the subsequent drastic decline in the numbers of tea-producing farmers. However, the Taiwanese government has since continued to do research on producing good tea in close cooperation with the private sector and has successfully produced this tea with a new variety of plants.
The tea has a nice and sweet aroma of apple and caramel and does not taste bitter at all. You can savor this tea with a little milk or without.
It is entirely different from Indian tea and Sri Lankan tea.
You can infuse four or five times, until the color fades.

How to prepare


3 g 0.1 oz 0.7 US tsp	95°C 203°F	150 ml 5.1 fl oz 150 cc	30 sec.~

STEP 1) Warm a gaiwan or teapot by pouring boiling water into it, then pouring it out.
STEP 2) Put tea leaves into the pot and pour water over the leaves.
STEP 3) Steam it for the required time.
STEP 4) Pour the tea into a pitcher, then into the cups to serve.

❖ When first pouring water over the leaves, foam is created. Remove the foam using the lid of the pot to achieve clearer taste.
❖ No need to "wash" the tea leaves, the first infusion is already ready to drink.
❖ For the second infusion, steep it for about half the time of the first infusion. For every other infusion after that increase the steeping time (from the time of the first infusion).
❖ Make sure to open the lid of the teapot between infusions, to prevent the leaves from steaming too much.

Taste of tea is a matter of preference, so try infusing tea in several ways and find your
favorite way to infuse.
