Award-Winning "Golden Buds" Jin Ya Dian Hong Black Tea

$39.00

Shifu, how did you achieve for this tea to have such an exceptional taste? So sweet and soft, with notes of chocolate, – a young monk asked the wise tea master Lao Cha


—This wasn’t difficult. I just had to find an ecologically friendly place, far away from the dust and pollution of the cities. Where there is green as far as the eye can see. Then I had to cultivate the tea bushes at a height of 1500 meters. Harvest only the finest tea leaves. And finally, patiently process these leaves with the greatest care. Simple. – Lao Cha answered.

Great Dian Hong. Sweet potatoes, chocolate, and malt.

The intense & earthy sweet potatoes and malt create a special sensation. Lightly astringent, which creates a nice balance. Lasts for many infusions, but be careful not to overheat the earlier steeps. This is a very special tea.

Yum!

The color of the tea liquid speaks for itself. The honey colored liquid is smooth and sweet like honey itself. The smell is fragrant and promotes a calm state of mind. Overall a wonderful black tea to enjoy mid-day.
