Wintersweet Black Tea 腊梅红茶

Description:

In the heart of Xuchang, Henan Province, our artisans braved three heavy snowfalls in January to hand-harvest delicate wintersweet flowers. These rare blooms cannot be picked during snowfall, and each tree yields only a few flowers. The harsh winter conditions pose challenges to both flower quality and the scenting process, requiring 40 meticulous days to perfect this Wintersweet Floral Black Tea.

Only the finest wild Wuyishan black tea, harvested in early spring before May, is chosen to pair with the crisp, floral fragrance of wintersweet. The tea’s rich sweetness and deep, comforting warmth wrap you in a cozy embrace, like a fireside retreat on a snowy day. This rare infusion masterfully balances the smooth, full-bodied depth of black tea with the delicate elegance of wintersweet, creating a truly intriguing and aromatic experience.
