Red tea from Feng Qing, from bushes aged 40−50 years. The author’s creation of Master Yang. The height of the tea gardens is 2000−2200 meters above sea level. A long-leaf hybrid of the Shui Xian variety, grafted onto the local Assamica.
Profile: dates, burnt caramel, blackcurrant, cinnamon, cardamom, raspberry, candied fruit, cherry, apple pie, rosehip, woody tones, and much more, tea exploration! In the aftertaste, there’s a pleasant astringency in balance with berry acidity. The infusion is dense, velvety. It holds the taste for a long time.
If metaphorically describing the effect — the tea takes you back to childhood. Spring, puddles, 1st grade, you’ve wet your feet, the sun is already setting, you run to your grandmother because she will never betray you. While your boots and woolen socks are drying, you drink hot black tea and watch cartoons, everything is hustle, eternity ahead! You warm up, cheeks rosy, shoes in order. A leisurely journey home, the smell of thawed earth intoxicates. Imperial? No, human!
