The return of our 2021 hit Yunnan shai hong, sun dried black tea made from a bud heavy picking. Fox Down is a thick and malty black tea with a full bodied texture and supple sweetness. It brews well with any style, whether you are using a deft touch with gongfu brewing or tossing into your hot water bottle to take out into the world. A truly wonderful daily black tea. Pressed in 2025. Each cake is 200g. The cakes are in bamboo tongs, with five cakes per tong.
