This fully fermented tea is from Yunnan, China. It is extremely harmonious and soothing with amazing health properties. The natural fermented microbes can separate different fats to aid digestion, particularly after a heavy meal. Due to this reason it is the stable tea served at most dim sum restaurants across China.
Before infusion the tea is compressed and aged. Once infused it produces a dark red liquor with light aromas of tobacco sweetness and wood. The taste is robust and complex, finishing off with a smooth comforting texture.
