Description

Our Hong Yu Red Jade is organically grown and produced in the beautiful setting of the Sun Moon lake area of central Taiwan. Hong Yu Red Jade is a premium tea that is harvested in strictly limited quantities, and demand consistently exceeds supply. Hong Yu Red Jade is hand picked in the traditional manner in late April, and it was lightly roasted. Light roasting produces a rich and complex brew with high fruity notes and a light hint of honey, in a pure tea that is less astringent and bitter than most black tea varieties. At first taste you will taste a little earthiness, with a light astringent finish; it is very malty with a hint of wood, and full of fruit flavor- dates, and ripe apricot. Try multiple steeps and experience the flavors for yourself!
