Description

Not necessarily your typical black tea, this sun-dried Yunnan black tea offers a nice caramel sweetness, light fruit scent, and pleasant texture.

Shaihong/sun-dried black teas can be a little less up front with their fragrance at first, but continue to develop over time, making them suitable for storing up to 2 years or more. These teas also have a bit more to offer in terms of texture, mouthfeel, and aftertaste.
