Red Plum Classic

Black Tea by Tea Hong

Red Plum Classic has been produced from leaves of Longjing tea bushes since its beginning in mid 19th century. Because of the nature of this unique use of cultivar, it acquires a very different character from most other black tea: tastes and aromas associated more with berries and plums on a foundation that reminds of the savoriness of finer Longjings, albeit the light, yet typical sweetness of finer black teas.

Mild floral fragrance accented with berries and plums. Lively, lightly sweet body with an undertone of Longjing savoriness and accents of berries. Refreshing and floral aftertaste.
