Acala "Red Alchemy"

Red Alchemy is our Jingmai red tea picked from trees that were once part of an ancient cultivated tea garden.  The original garden was abandoned and, over time, nature returned it to a feral state resembling wild tea bushes.  After many years, the feral bushes were partially cleared, pruned and grown back into trees.  This incredible transformation from cultivated garden to feral nature and back results in a highly distinctive red tea.  A limpid rich amber liqueur rewards the nose with citrus and floral aromas.  When sipped, fresh citrus, burnt orange, and vanilla meld with a subtle return sweetness that creates a uniquely satisfying flavor profile.   Like our signature Pu'ers, Red Alchemy is made especially for Acala by our friends in Mangjing Village, Jingmai Mountain, Yunnan, China, where they and their ancestors have been picking, preparing and drinking tea for over 1700 years!  Every sip will connect you directly to this heritage and the unique history of Acala Red Alchemy.
