Sichuan Gongfu is, with Keemun and Yunnan Gold, one of the three most famous Gongfu black tea in China. This tea is truly special as it is produced from very fine downy tea buds, a rarity in black teas where usually only the tea leaves (and no buds at all) are used for production of the tea.
Other names:
Chuan Hong
Taste:
Not only is it smooth but rich and malty as well. The finish carries a hint of chocolate-note. Sichuan Gongfu blends very well with sweeten milk to create a beverage that taste like chocolate milk.
Appearance:
Dark and slightly gold tea buds. Yields cups of amber color liquor.
Origin:
Yi Bin City, Sichuan Province
