Sanxia Honey Black

Silky, honey-taste (mi xiang), dark-fruit depth, and light leather give this exceptional black tea high marks. Notes of clover honey, leather, and cherry pit. The smaller Qing Xin Gan Zhi leaves have a concentrated taste that is balanced by an abundance of buds which give a lovely honey-taste (mi-xiang).  It was handpicked in Sanxia, Taiwan. This handpicked tea brews with a red-orange color, medium body, and smooth texture.  We recommend brewing with 195 degree water for the first infusion which should be 45 seconds.  Increasing brew time with subsequent infusions.
