We have a limited amount of these bars to share with you each year. The Black Rose Tea has been pressed into easy-break bars and wrapped like chocolate! Large leaf, old growth leaves from Ai Lao Mountain are accented with whole wild roses to create a gorgeous and delicious tea. The resulting infusion balances hearty flavors of warm cedarwood with a floral touch and lush, malty finish. It can be prepared in a gaiwan with short, repeated steeps to bring out a progression of deepened flavors, or steeped longer for a rich, decadent cup that can stand up to the addition of milk and sugar.
Origin: Yunnan, China
Harvest: 2025
• Convenient 100g bars
• Great for gongfu or western steeping
• Old growth tea with whole wild roses
• Floral and sweet, without being overpowering
• Balanced flavor and fun to steep!
• 1 square tea per 8oz. water
• Steep 40-50 seconds in boiling water
• Re-steep for 15-20 seconds for 3-4 re-steeps, then lengthen steeps to extract all the flavor
This tea does best when steeped in a gaiwan.
Use these recommendations for steeping in a western teapot, or when only 1 steep is desired.
• 1 square tea per 8oz. water
• Steep 3-5 minutes in boiling water (5 minutes if adding milk and/or sugar)
• Re-steep one more time for 2-3 minutes (if desired)
