Cultivar: Si Ji & Da Wu
Harvested in April 2023 from wild-grown Da Wu and Si Ji cultivars in the pristine mountains of Pinglin, Taiwan, this Wild Organic Red Tea is a rare and masterfully crafted expression of Taiwanese black tea.
Expertly produced by Yu Sanhe, a renowned tea artisan dedicated to traditional and organic tea-making, this tea is cultivated without pesticides or fertilizers, allowing nature to shape its distinctive character.
This tea possesses a strong and grounding Cha Qi (茶氣), the vital energy drinkers seek in high-quality, wild-crafted teas. From the first sip, warmth spreads through the body, bringing clarity, alertness, and deep relaxation. The tea's naturally strong Qi reflects its wild origins, offering a calming yet invigorating experience long after the last cup.
Unlike conventionally cultivated teas, this wild organic red tea develops a more complex and full-bodied profile due to its untamed growth and deep mountain soil. Combining Da Wu and Si Ji cultivars brings a unique balance of strength, sweetness, and floral complexity, making for an exceptionally smooth and layered black tea.
This 2023 Wild Organic Red Tea is a must-try for black tea lovers seeking a naturally bold yet smooth and refined tea experience. Enjoy it fresh for its vibrant energy, or allow it to age, developing even more profound richness over time.
