Qimen Hongcha
祁门红茶
The tea that taught Europe what black tea should taste like, made from a small-leaf Anhui cultivar and rolled into fine dark wires.
Cacao and malt in the body with an unmistakable rose lift over the top, which is why it has been going into breakfast blends for a hundred and fifty years. Drunk on its own it is much finer than that history suggests.
The everyday tea in our own kitchen.
cacao – rose – malt
