From Camellia Sinensis

Produced by M. Qi, this tightly rolled black tea comes from the same garden as our Dejiang Long Zhu green tea in Eastern Guizhou. Grown at high altitude, it gives a warm and clean infusion.

Altogether malty, woody and fruity, our De Jiang Hong Cha shows great texture and depth in the mouth. Its crisp finish presents delicate notes of stewed berries and even a subtle floral touch.

This tea is really beautiful to look at — rolled leaves with a unique shine and purple-blue in colour. The maltiness of this tea is heavenly. It’s light-medium bodied with an incredible natural honey sweetness that cuts through the malt. I would re-order this one.

Recently placed a CS order because they just put out a Hojicha blended with Cyprus that I just had to try – and I figured that I would use the order as an excuse to restock some cupboard staples and get a few new samples…

I love when tea mail and comic mail days overlap, because it means I get to enjoy an exciting new tea with a new comic – and in this case I sipped on this earlier in the evening while reading some Carnage Classic! Admittedly, I bought this tea because I was mostly interested in the visual of the loose leaf tea – it’s a rolled style black tea with a blueish brown/umber appearance and a super glossy finish, not unlike Gunpowder green tea. Gunpowder green tea, typically, sucks though – this tea did not.

The main flavour I got was actually a very beautiful wildflower honey note crossed with more of the darker honey flavour of something like Buckwheat honey. Despite the honey notes, it’s not overly sweet/sticky in terms of flavour and the finish is very clean and crisp, which I really liked about the tea. More of a medium body with a thick smoothness to the liquor – I also got muted notes of blueberry and Spring flowers/linden.

Very intriguing – I hope to finish off the sample Gongfu.

That cypress hojicha intrigued me too! I need to stop getting so many newsletters from tea companies.

Sometimes I just delete them without reading them – ignorance can be bliss, haha.

I sometimes do that as well. The cypress hojicha caught my attention, though. I look forward to your review!
