What an experience! Chapeau bas!

Leaves come from Xin Yi Indigenous Mountain Township, the homeland of aboriginal Bunun people. Bushes grow in organic garden with view on Yu Shan mountain range.

Fresh leaves were processed in small factory in Yuchi.

Hong Yun is an exclusive Taiwanese tea cultivar that was developed by the Taiwanese Tea Research and Extension Station in 2008. It’s a hybrid of Chinese Qimen and Napalese assamica from Kyang area.

When you see Hong Yun in the market, it’s usually the most expensive black tea.

Why? Not many farmers decided to grow this bush but it’s also low-yielding, bringing quite small crop comparing to other famous bushes like Qing Xin.

Amazing black tea with strong, powerful body and unique taste/aroma profile.

Strong notes of orange peel, ripe grapefruit, some menthol and herbal notes.

And wild honey.

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 15-35 second.
