Teas Red Blossom Tea | Heritage Beidou

Beidou, Or “North Star” Is Famed As A Direct Descendant Of The True Grand Scarlet Robe, Or “Da Hong Pao”, Variety. As True Da Hong Pao Teas Are Reserved For Elite Government Officials And Dignitaries, We Spend Our Sourcing Trips Searching For Descendant Varieties Like This Beidou, Which Is Reputed To Be One Of The Closest In Flavor To The Famed Mother Plants.

This Batch Is Carefully Hand-Crafted Using Strictly Traditional Methods, And Then Finished By Our Roaster To Receive Several Layers Of Traditional “Heritage” Charcoal Roasting.

The Result Is The Best Wuyi Oolong In Recent Memory. The Initial Brew Releases The Intense Toffee And Caramel Notes From The Charcoal Roasting. But It’S The Balance Of The Tea That Sets The Heritage Beidou Apart From Other Wuyis: At The Same Time Rich, Viscous, Sweet, Floral, Fruity – Each Characteristic Distinct, But Balanced And In Harmony With The Others.
