A warm and comforting red tea from Fujian, made from the renowned Gui Fei oolong cultivar.
Before harvest, the leaves are gently bitten by tiny leafhoppers, triggering a natural response in the tea plant. This unique process develops the cultivar’s signature honeyed sweetness, fruity depth and complex aroma long before the leaves are processed.
Fully oxidized as a red tea, Fujian Black combines the richness of black tea with the elegance and layered character of fine oolong.
Expect notes of honey, dried fruit, warm spice and malt sweetness, with a long, smooth finish that lingers pleasantly on the palate.
This is a tea for slower moments — grounding, comforting and deeply satisfying.
