“Well… this tea was a hot item 5 years ago. As it happens, my stash of this came from summer 2016 too, but it’s been stored sealed for years. And NOW it tastes strongly of honey and is just...” Read full tasting note

Description

This tea is called “Honey Fragrance” tea in Taiwan and you’ll see why when you brew it up. We have a limited quantity of this rare black tea from Pinglin. It’s smooth and flavorful — a welcome addition to morning or afternoon! While not as hardy as our Assam or Ruby red, you’ll get a solid three infusions. It is made by the same Farmer who makes our BaoZhong. He uses the same plants but is harvested in summer (also picked by hand) and roasting into Black tea. You might think of it as a black Asian Beauty/Baozhong fusion tea. We like it a lot and think you will too! This farm is pristine and in a very clean natural area far from any cities. Also known as MiXiang HongCha.
