“Yes, this tea was meant for a longer steep! There’s still notes of honeysuckle, but it’s not cloyingly sweet now. It’s dark but rather delicate, and slightly astringent, but that adds to the tea...” Read full tasting note
Wild Red Tian Hu Shan brews a rich red color, and is best stepped at around 4 minutes. It is a pretty forgiving tea, so it is hard to over-steep without bringing up strong astringent notes. It delivers a rich malty flavor with notes of oyster shell, grapefruit, and white rose. This tea is wild, organic, and hand picked. We are very honored to offer the only 50 lbs. harvested in China’s West Lake Region.
