Premium Dan Xia Gong Fu Organic Golden Buds China Guang Dong Black Tea

Type: Black

Packaging: Bag

Origin: China

Description: Our finest grade of Dan Xia black tea is harvested from heirloom Cocoa varietal tea trees in China's southwestern Guandong Province. Our Dan Xia black is single origin and grown organically in the higher elevations of Guangdong Province. Often referred to as the "mocha of tea", it is full-bodied and offers a malty flavor with a delicate spiciness. As the leaves are large and "soft" they yield a lush, full-flavored tea that will cup to a rich, russet-red color. This bright, clean coloration well exemplifies the process of oxidization of the leaf and thus its denotation as a "red" tea in China.

 

Masterfully oxidized into an auburn color flecked with golden buds, this black tea has an impressive strength, density and refined finish. Dan Xia tea produces a brew that is brassy golden orange in color with a sweet, gentle aroma and no astringency.

 

The smooth cup is rich and full-bodied with notes of bittersweet cocoa and carob, as well as spice hints. Golden buds has a richly textured infusion that offers hints of peppery spice, notes of chocolate and sweet lychee with a deep malty finish. This top-shelf black tea is delightful when served straight, and divine with milk and sugar. 

 

Brewing Guide: Dan Xia black is widely enjoyed as a breakfast black tea. It can be served with milk and sugar.
