Fu Shou Mei Feng Qing Black Tea of Yunnan

First flush of pure bud "Dian Hong" Feng Qing area tea was used to compose this special process tea! The freshly-picked tea is wilted and then briefly fried in tropical Yunnan muscovado style (un-processed) red sugar. The sugar is mixed with water, and used sparingly in the frying process of the leaves. The brewed tea has a noticeably sweet taste and a nice, malty, full mouth-feel. The sweetness imparted by the processing is subtle and not overpowering at all! The unprocessed sugar (from cane stalks) imparts a special aroma and taste which comingles with the tea, making it a lovely experience. A unique tea! March Harvest!
