An unusual, heavily fermented black tea from Yunnan Province.

Its history began just over 20 years ago at the famous Fengqing tea factory, where the technique for producing Dianhong teas was developed in the early 20th century. This time, the factory's specialists set out to create a black tea that embodies the collective essence of all Chinese black teas, hence its resonant name. Through experiments with cultivars brought from other provinces and various processing techniques, "Chinese Red" was born.

Aroma: honeyed, sweet, fragrant, intoxicating, with berry notes.

Taste: sweet and bready, with a noble berry tartness in a rich, spicy, juicy aftertaste. Reminiscent of wild Yunnan herbs as well as Fujian Xiao Jun and Min Hong teas.

Effect: warms well, soothes, and gently invigorates.

Harvest: Spring 2023.

Brewing instructions: Preheat your teaware. For infusion, use 5-6 grams per 100 ml of water. Use boiling water, with steeping times of 5-15 seconds to taste. The tea can withstand at least 5 infusions. For steeping, use 4 grams per 250 ml of water and let it steep for 3-4 minutes. Enjoy your tea!
