From Yunnan Sourcing

Classic style black from Yixing in Jiangsu. The home of the world famous Purple “Zisha” Clay Teapots is also an area that produces some less-known but still world-class black tea!

We are proud to offer two grades of Yixing Hong for you to enjoy!

This classic grade is processed to maximize it’s thick aroma which reminds us very much of freshly baked whole wheat raisin bread! The taste is thick and sweet notes of baked bread and just a touch of chocolaty bitterness. What a treat!

Spring 2022 batch.

Prepared in my Jian Shui gaiwan, and served in my porcelain tea cup via my glass cha hai. Filtered Santa Monica municipal water just off the boil throughout.

Dark gray, twisted wiry strands with some patches of yellow/gold. Fairly uniform. Unremarkable dry aroma.

Butterscotch liquor. Delicate nose is vegetal/waxy/and faintly grainy.

Mild, faintly malty flavor with hints of piñon and dried plum. Linear, slightly dusty finish. A bit more leather and hay emerge if pushed along with a mild bitterness/astringency.

Medium-light body.

Decent, but not much character – will revisit after the package has been open for a few weeks and revise if things improve significantly.

Meh. Will need to try this one again but it was pretty basic and average at first cup.
