Overview
Best pick • solid blend choice from Unknown origin
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
Scented dark tea with an exceptionally smooth cup. The rose character is subtle and confectionary – sweet instead of perfume. Each heart is 3-4 grams of compressed tea on average. This lot of Dark Rose was produced in the summer of 2024 by Mr. Duan Jianqun in Anhua County, Hunan Province. The base tea was made from the Yuntai Daye cultivar, a large leaf varietal from Yuntai mountain in Anhua - an unusual choice and a major reason for the satin character of this tea. Ingredients: dark tea, rose petals Steeping Instructions 1 heart | 10-12 oz water | 195°F | Steep 3 min. Traditional Steeping 1 heart | 6 oz water | 195°F | Rinse 5 sec. | Steep 30 sec.
