A black (dark) Chinese tea from Anhui Province, similar to the traditional Lu An Hei Cha, but produced outside the originally designated regions. Traditionally, it is compressed into 250 g bamboo baskets (Sun Qiao).
The tea in the basket is lined and wrapped with a wide bamboo leaf (Ruo Ye), used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is recommended to brew the tea together with small pieces of the wrapping bamboo leaf.
The liquor is sparkling orange-yellow in color, with an intense fruity aroma and a subtle herbal note. The taste is refreshing, full-bodied, and richly fruity, with a slowly sweetening finish.
