My friend brought me back this tea from China on her recent trip. Its from a tea company/plantation that boasts of having 300 different tea seed genes they keep for 5 of the southwestern provinces. This tea is of fine grade and brews nicely into a deep crimson hue. I’m assuming its loose Liu Bao as there is no descriptor other than black tea on the box it came in. Faintly sweet, dark stone fruit and a pleasant dryness makes for a nice mid-morning brew.

I love this tisane for night time drinking. It’s just floral and just the right balance of sweet and bitter, and it’s amazing with a little honey.
