This black tea from the Wuyi Mountains is made from a single bush (dancong), generally saved for oolongs. This one is using the Honey Orchid varietal. Because it’s produced in the style of a black tea, it has inherited fruity characteristics from the oolong, while also carrying notes of cocoa, black cherries, barley malt.

This is the same Dancong Hong cha we’ve originally had on our website, just in small coin form. They are between 4-6g each.
