Tea Size: 2 ounce

Tightly curled black and gold leaves steep up full and hearty, but without the astringency. Buried in the earthiness is a malty, sweet allure that always hits the spot.

Produced in the spring of 2024 in Mangbai Village, Cangyuan County, Yunnan Province. It’s a one bud, one leaf pick from a local cultivar growing at almost 6,000 feet. This tea is also known as Hong Luo or “Red Snail” (due to its appearance).

This tea was formerly called "China Black Special."

Customer Reviews

Overall rating: 4.8 / 5 from 5 reviews.

This tea has a pleasant, ever so slightly funky flavor that is maintained well through multiple infusions.

This is the taste I’ve been looking for in a more affordable black tea. I steep it 30sec. For 1st steeping, 25sec. For second and so on, Gong Fu style. I also use Dune Buggy and Golden Needles similarly but neither are as spoon friendly for measuring

This tea is what I come here for. I try other varieties ( which are fabulous) but always come back to this tea. No matter what it's called!

This is a full bodied tea that can be infused 2-3 times, however I think that 3 grams per 8 ounces of water is more than enough. Anyway, this is my goto morning pick-me-up tea.
