Description

The city of Yixing is known for the unique clay teapots used in formal Chinese ceremonies but little is known about the tea from this region. We are thrilled to share this black tea with you from Yixing. Robust spicy flavors harmonized by the smoky aromatics characterize this tea. Used to season the best zisha (purple sand) teapots from Yixing, this tea is also ideal for anyone learning the formal Chinese tea ceremony: Gongfu tea!
