    Fantastic, elegant, with strong notes of black cherries and cherry throat sweets. But syrup balanced by zest, camphor, almost eucalyptus hints. Beneficially less malt and cocoa than typical DH.

This is a very special Black tea which seems to combine the sweet, smooth richness of a Yunnan Dianhong with the wild and zesty character of a Raw PuErh.

Made from old tea trees (estimated 100-200 years old) from the heirloom cultivar of Fengqing. This area is very famous for producing the best Black teas in Yunnan and this one is no exception.

The tea has a very 'complicated' aroma, combining all that I love from a Yunnan Black and a Sheng Gushu PuErh. It also has notes from fruity Blacks, Assamicas and Ceylons depending on how you brew (check the video below).

Fruity, zesty, spicy, creamy and resinous, this Black tea has everything to give you a very special tea session.

It even makes a crazy delicious and luxurious milk tea!
