Qihong (Keemun), red tea from Qimen, AAA, 2022

A worthy representative of red tea from Anhui Province. Impeccably pure and concise. Hints of bread sweetness and honey in a soft profile.

Narrow, tightly twisted dark leaves with a warm, sweet, honey aroma. When heated, the leaves reveal notes of baked goods and the tartness of blackcurrants.

The infusion is rich, ruby red in colour with a golden rim. The taste is delicate and soft, rich and viscous, with notes of bread and honey, a subtle berry sourness and a slight roughness. Long velvety aftertaste.

An iconic red tea for attentive tasting. It pleasantly invigorates, clears the head, warms well and gives strength.
