The Big Tree Red is a very unique black tea, made from old arbor Puer material. The name red comes from the Chinese name for black tea, hongcha, which literally translates as “red tea”. The big tree is because of the material used, a mix of summer and fall old tree big leaf varietal from near Lincang area. The trees used are roughly 100 – 200 years old.
We very strongly recommend brewing this tea gong fu style, with approximately one gram of leaf per twenty milliliters of water. A rinse is not necessary and the tea should be prepared with boiling water. If brewed with fast infusions, the tea should last between fifteen and twenty steeps, which is uncommon endurance for a black tea.
We strongly recommend that Puer lovers experience this strong and enduring black tea.
