Product Details

In the world of tea, "one bud and one leaf" is hailed as the golden ratio of nature. It embodies both the freshness and high aroma of a single bud and the mellow taste of mature leaves. Our premium black tea is born from this rigorous picking standard.

Why is this cup of premium black tea worth collecting?1. Strict standards, only selecting one bud and one leafWe reject coarse and aged leaves and adhere to the picking standard of one bud and one leaf. This picking method not only ensures the excellent appearance of tight, fine, and evenly shaped dried tea with a black and lustrous appearance and golden tea hairs, but also achieves a perfect balance of internal substances in the tea, resulting in a top-notch taste of "freshness, sweetness, and mellowness".2. Intangible cultural heritage craftsmanship, refining the "aroma of a king"Supervised by a 30-year tea master, it adopts traditional Gongfu black tea craftsmanship and slow pine wood baking techniques. This not only captures the floral, fruity, and honey aromas of the tea leaves, but also imbues the tea soup with a sweet and mellow taste, devoid of any bitterness or astringency, maintaining a lingering aftertaste even after three infusions.3. Gentle and inclusive, a healing essence suitable for all seasonsAs a fully fermented tea, premium black tea boasts an exceptionally mild nature. Rich in protein and theaflavins, it not only refreshes the mind, aids in thinking, and alleviates fatigue but also warms the middle energizer and soothes the stomach. Whether brewed in a mug at the office or savored with a gaiwan teapot during guest visits, it offers a gentle comfort that glides across the tongue like silk.

The best way to awaken black teaGood tea needs to be brewed with good techniques. Master the following skills to easily brew a master-level taste:Warming the cups and cleaning the tea set: Scalding the tea set with boiling water to raise its temperature helps to evoke the rich aroma of black tea.Precise tea brewing: The recommended tea-to-water ratio is 1:30 to 1:50 (approximately 3-5 grams of tea leaves to 150ml of water), which can be adjusted slightly according to personal taste preference.Water temperature and tea infusion: It is recommended to use hot water at 85℃-90℃ for brewing. Pour the water along the side of the cup to avoid directly hitting the tea leaves and burning the tender buds. The first few infusions should be quick (about 5-10 seconds), and the subsequent steeping time can be appropriately extended to avoid a sour and astringent taste in the tea.All-purpose beverage: The premium black tea is highly versatile. Besides being enjoyed as a clear drink, it can also be blended with milk, honey, or lemon according to personal preference to create afternoon tea beverages with various flavors, while retaining its rich aroma and mellow taste.
