Introducing the 2018 "Drunk on Red" Sun-Dried Black Tea Cake, a unique and rewarding tea for those looking to explore something beyond ordinary black tea. This special tea is crafted from autumn-harvested leaves in Yunnan, China, using a rare sun-drying method that sets it apart from most black teas, which are typically dried with heat.
This sun-drying process gives the tea a more subtle character when young but allows it to age beautifully, developing deeper and more complex flavors over time. Think of it like a fine wine that gets better with age. The tea is pressed into a convenient 100-gram cake, which protects the leaves and allows this aging process to continue.
The flavor is strong and full of depth, with a pleasant sweetness that evolves. When young, it is robust and can be steeped many times, revealing new layers in later infusions. As it ages for a few years, it develops lovely notes of honey and earthy spice, making it a fantastic tea to buy now and enjoy as it transforms.
This is an excellent choice for tea drinkers who appreciate a strong, complex character and want to experience the fascinating world of aged teas. It offers a journey of flavor that will delight your palate now and for years to come.
