From TeaSource

Light in body, boundless in grace. Effervescent roses in aroma and a forest of peach trees in the cup. The olfactory presence outlasts a liquor that is determined to resist astringency.

A blend of harvests produced on April 3 and April 7, 2023. The final roast was done August 7, 2023. The material comes from the tea fields of Mr. Lin Rui Fu in Anxi County, Fujian Province. It’s a one bud, three leaf pick of the Huang Jin Gui cultivar growing at 2,400 feet. 2022 was a tough year for Red Dawn due to China’s covid lockdown and excessive spring rains, but 2023’s more cooperative conditions gave us an easier path to an excellent result.

The idea for Red Dawn came from our friend Daniel Hong in 2020 during Covid lockdown and is now a continuous experiment we plan to purchase in years to come. This is a TeaSource exclusive tea you won’t find anywhere else.

#tiffanys2021sipdown Tea #54 overall / Tea #21 for February

Sunday 2/14 — I am not a black/rooibos/white fan (more of a oolong/green/herbal fan) but my boyfriend got a SCOBY for Christmas so we started making kombucha. This was a sample bag(6 grams) from last fall (2020) Virtual Tea Festival. This is the one I brewed the night of 2/14 when my boyfriend requested a new plain hot black tea for our kombucha… nice way to easily sipdown a tea I’d normally just pass over when I have 1032492834823408324 different teas.

The first few steeps are honey-like, sweet and thick for a black tea; later on the texture and flavor lighten, becoming thinner but remarkably floral. I’d recommend this to someone who likes second-flush Darjeeling. I could also see it making a great mocktail with ginger ale and rosewater.
