From TheTea

Origin: Dong Ding area, Lugu, Nantou, Taiwan

Harvest: Summer 2020

Cultivar: Qing Xing (Chin Shin)

Hong Shui was handpicked during hot summer day in Dong Ding area. Leaves are stunning – the farmer left the twigs so when the leaves are open you can admire not damaged complete bud and 2-3 leaves on the same twig. Beautiful picking standard.

This particular Hong Shui is exceptionally clean and balanced. We can say elegant. Oxidation of those tightly rolled leaves is quite high but roasting very gentle. When you taste this tea first two infusions are so soft and yellow but each next will be darker and more interesting. The tea is full of fresh honey-like notes enriched by ripe fruits flavours (stone fruits like peaches, cherries, litchi) and something between flowers and wood.

It’s like a mix of Oriental Beauty with Dong Ding Hong Cha or so-called Hong Oolong. Charming tea – good for at least 7-8 infusions.

Very pleasant tea with sweet aromas of baked fruits, nectar, flowers and wood. The taste is sweet and floral, but also refreshing. There is a woody bitterness and a light metallic character. Later infusions are mineral, almost marine, with a cooling finish. The mouthfeel is buttery and the aftertaste has a very long-lasting sweetness. All in all, a great tea to enjoy casually.
