Description
福建红茶 (Fujian Hong)
Mingzhu Tea Gardens, Wuyishan, Fujian, China
From the same team who gave us our previous Lapsang Souchong, this Fujian Red, unlike its cousin, remains unsmoked and offers a caramel, biscuity and malty liquor. Note this is a limited edition late crop, when supply depletes, only the heavens can tell whether similar conditions will be replicated to reproduce this offering. It has been a highly regarded season, the tea has a notably sweeter and more refined finish than many of its predecessors.
