This kind of black tea is really interesting, not only because of organic production, but above all, because it is produced using Rou Gui cultivar. Yes, the same kind of bush used in Wuyi mountain to produce yancha.

Currently less than five farmers around Pinglin grow Rou Gui cultivar.

This Rou Gui Hong Cha is quite strong – full-bodied and robust. With well pronounced bitterness and astringency.

You will find here quite spicy, woody and malty notes surrounded by pleasant fruitiness.

Good organic black tea for those who really like stronger infusions.

For us it’s good tea to start the day with.

Harvest: summer 2023
Tea cultivar Rou Gui

Temperature of water and amount of leaves: 100 C 4-5g/100ml.

Suggested brewing method: Porcelain teapot or gaiwan of low capacity. First, you should pre-heat empty teapot/gaiwan and tea cups with boiling water. When the teapot is warmed, then you put the tea leaves in. After smelling hot and dry leaves in the pot, gently pour the boiling water to the pot.  First infusion should be very short- not more than 20-25 second. We suggest to increase brewing time for 5-10 seconds in each next brewing. You can prepare at least 8-10 nice infusions!

Good tea for bowl brewing.
