Our Red Stiletto bud heavy black tea from Sichuan province. A commission from 2025 spring, our Red Stiletto is a unique black tea made from Sichuan cultivars that are usually destined for green tea production. Cotton candy sweetness and a silky smooth soup. This tea has a natural comfort to it that is better experienced than explained. If you're searching for teas that scream at you with flavor and aroma, look elsewhere. This tea is a whisper on the wind. Each purchase is for 25g of tea.
